Heck yea! Tangerines! They don’t grow where I am sadly, I’m mostly looking forward too apples and ESPECIALLY to the tomatoes that are almost done (we planted them a lil later, for some reason they grow bigger that way). I got a three tomatoes bigger than my hand on the vine and they’re just starting to change colors :D Squash too.
Of course, I also grow some fine hemp. Great crop for composting after harvest, for personal enjoyment and for making your own farm twine. Should get well over two pounds this year.
Late May, actually! Part of it is what we use to feed them too. Regular ol’ garden tomatoes.
We use Fox Farms; right now we’re working on making our own nutrient mixtures but for some reason, Fox Farms is just absolutely bonkers when it comes to feeding plants. It was originally made for hemp; but hemp and tomatoes require nearly the same amount of phosphates, calcium and other nutrients! (legally, the feeder is “for tomatoes”) If you adjust the feeding schedule/amounts you can use it on other garden plants too. Our squash likes a heavier load of the big bloom than the rest.
I just used some bio manure beads this season and mixed it deep into the soil. Apparently it’s enough nutrients for three seasons. I’m more confident about next season cause this year a lot of the things I grew got burnt by the heat. But the trees have been fruitful on account of the sun, heat and deep roots.
May you have a bountiful harvest. I’ve been eating figs for the past few weeks. Tangerines are coming in in November.

Had no idea about this. I’ll try that next year. When did you plant them? In late April/early May? And what kind of tomatoes?

I’ll try planting some tomatoes in late May. :)
