Soil for growing potted tomatoes requires the following:
1) Loose and well-drained.
2) Using a generous amount of organic matter adds those natural ingredients.
3) Mix one part of each of the following: a) potting soil b) compost c) perlite d) shagnum peat moss.

We live in such a “must have” society, feeling like we have to live up to the “Jones” next door. We as parents need to “pull in the reins” so our children don’t have the same obsessive behaviors.

Part two of my growing potted tomatoes was my research. If anyone wants to know what zone they are in - don’t bother. It’s a total waste of time. It seems dependent on the “flavor of the year” grading system. If you want a real low down, you can read at length about the conflicting grading systems here. My suggestion is to check out whats selling at a garden center in your area. I don’t think they’d sell plants that wouldn’t grow on their own turf. Too many refund requests ;)

It seems that now (mid May) is to late to start with…
