I FOUND TWO TINY TOMATOES ON A ROMA TOMATO PLANT! I thought they had to grow much bigger before that happened however it has blooms all over. Another Roma has some blooms and the ones I planted later look like blooms are about to happen.
Look, I was going to plant everything in pots so I got general purpose potting soil with food to last 9 months already in it. Now, I'm putting seeds in the ground and I don't have good fancy soil to add to the ground dirt, but I've got three bags of the general purpose potting soil.
I did not tell the seeds what I was going to use. I put the general purpose in the planting space, then put in the seed or seeds, then put more general purpose over the seeds to the depth required on the envelope. Then, I told the seeds they had really good food to grow in. Then, I watered them.
If potting soil works in a pot, why wouldn't it work in a hole in the ground which would be a holding vessel the same as a pot?
Potting soil does work in a hole in the ground, most of the time anyway. I don’t like digging holes. That’s why I went with raised beds.
I just covered the existing bare ground with cardboard and newspaper and dumped the bags of soil on the top. Then, I planted my stuff. Each year I add some compost and organic stuff to the soil, or else I plant winter cover crop to turn under and replace the nutrients.
