Default Using my orchid-growing regimen on other plants

I have primarily been an orchid grower for the last 50+ years. Upon moving to North Carolina and only having a limited collection, I shifted some of my attention to plants in the yard, including vegetables and herbs in raised beds.

I apply the same regimen to my herbs, vegetables, fruit, and flowers:

► K-Lite Fertilizer @ 100 ppm N weekly
► Kelpak Biostimulant at planting, 2 weeks later, then monthly @1 TBSP/gal
► Quantum-Total Plant Probiotic @ 2 oz/gal at planting and monthly.

We planted 2" seedlings from a local herb farm the last week of April and have been harvesting tomatoes and peppers for about 3 weeks.

Those look great. How do the tomatoes taste? Their sweetness is supposed to depend on nitrogen.

They’re fantastic, and much better than store-bought! I think calcium is supposed to affect the sweetness, too.
