    I always tell gardeners not to give an adult dose to a child. Your plant isn't a seedling but it isn't full grown either. Fertilizer burn is real. Your leaves show minimal signs of trouble so I'd water with plain water for 1-2 weeks and go back to half strength fertilizer. What does the container recommend? The manufacturer wants you to have good results (and buy more) and they've tested their product.

    It can help, but they will eat if they find a food source. I don't like to recommend specific products, but for cases like this, I will.

    Foxfarm has a product called Force of Nature- Miticide. It is completely organic and works for a broad range of pests. It is what I use, personally, and the only thing that I have used since I started using it pre-release to the public.

    Spray the plants once per week, or whenever you need, as it won't harm any plant.

    I use it around the home, as well! It kills on contact.

    Midnight Snack tomatoes are ready approx 68 days from set out.

    Temperature, watering and sunlight can all effect ripening.

    They 'can'. Cherry tomatoes are not the best canning variety, but they can be canned just fine.

    This has everything to do with environment. This happens when it is suddenly watered after it is too dry, or not humid, and the soil is dry.

    Try to keep the soil consistently moist with only a slight dry out between waterings. Spraying in the early morning can help, as well.

    These are notorious for dropping tomatoes, and thus, seeds everywhere. This can happen for a very long time. It is hard to say when they will stop. As long as there are strong genetics, good fertilization practice, and more than one plant for pollination it could support tomatoes almost indefinitely.

    As long as you keep the soil in proper condition, you can see volunteers come back every year for years to come.

    The only drawback is that disease organisms may build up when same crops are grown in same spot year after year.

    Tomato plants do die back in the winter, but if you've kept it potted indoors, you could possibly see it sprouting back when spring approaches. Make sure to remove the hardened stems and dead leaves. If the roots have not survived the winter, the plant will not regrow.
