A gardener explains pruning adepranches and feeding tomato plants with dried cow manure each week. Campbell waters at 10 gallons weekly unless rainfall is heavy, mulches leaves to conserve moisture, and stirs mulch to reduce evaporation. Soil tests guide fertilizer 5-10-10 or 5-10-5 applications, with regular twining and bud support as fruit sets.
Campbell, a Lancaster department store buyer, favors big tomatoes like the Big Boy and Glamor varieties. He notes this year's plants produce heavy fruit with smaller stalks and uniform fruit, and he previously had good results with Kevy state giants that were unavailable now. He grows them for personal satisfaction and supplies tomatoes for salad courses at civic club luncheons.
Carl S Bittner notes that harvesting at the right maturity extends storage life and reduces scald without artificial aids. Penn State extension pomologist adds that fruit color, tree condition, and storage containers also affect quality and appearance.
