Roots
A Whole World Beneath Our Tomatoes
Roots That Go All the Way Down
Farmer T has been troubleshooting as we continue the process of pulling up our long-dead tomatoes. Could we have watered our plants more? Did we water them too much? So, in the spirit of learning, we have been examining the roots as we pull out our plants. Despite the intense summer heat, we’ve discovered that the Tomato root systems appear to be healthier than we first thought. Of course, with temperatures dropping, remembering the summer heat was, is a challenge.
Looks like lightning – what are you feeding those plants?
Pretty crazy looking. Had no idea there was such a rich, subterranean world going on down there. We feed them twice a year. A little Miracle Grow at the start, then a little a couple months in.
