| I have planted Burpee tomato seeds and green peppers and would like to know when I can start fertilizing and what and how much? I planted the seeds March 15th and live in upstate NY, last frost is May 30. |
| Most seedlings do not need much fertilizer until they have several sets of true leaves. At that point you might give them a very dilute solution of balanced liquid soluble fertilizer such as MiracleGro at about one fourth the label rate about once a week. (Some gardeners will also use manure tea in addition or instead for their transplants.) Continue this until they are set out in the garden. |
