Noted re: fertilizer. Since I've posted the question I noticed a couple small tomatoes, so maybe at then end of next month I'll have some worth picking.
The other plant is doing ok, last evening I picked a ripe small/medium sized tomato from it. The pots are raised from the deck floor to keep them away from heat. I learned to do that last year on this forum. My main issue is the plants getting eaten, so this is kind of a makeshift crude chicken wire barrier. If this works out well I'll make something better next year.
I have another small but very protected garden in the back yard with cherry and beefsteak(?) tomato plants. No ripening yet, but seem to be doing ok without any signs of predators. I have a separate question about that which I'll post later with a photo.
