Melissa I know you're a more experienced gardener than I am so maybe you can answer---
I planted a plant in my planting table and it's getting huge...too big and starting to crowd my other stuff. Can I dig it out and put it in a big pot of its own, or should I not move while it's doing so well?

That's fine you can move it. It is still early in the season. I am sure it do do fine.

Do you use fertilizer?
I have been using Osmocote for the last few years. It's a time released fertilizer. You just put the amount the directions say in the hole when you plant.

It wouldn't hurt to get some Miracle Gro that you mix. Every couple of weeks fertilize your veggies.

Sure it will come back. I read some tips that I use to do when I first started gardening.
1 tsp of Epsom salt to a gallon of water helps tomatoes. And all plants, but with tomatoes it helps prevent the leaves from turning yellow. It also helps blossom end rot. Which is when the bottom of the tomato gets black and rots.
