Saw an ad for Tomato Blossom Set Spray in this week's hardware
circular. I don't have any idea if it really works or not. Does
anyone have any first (or even second)-hand experience with this
stuff?

A healthy outdoor tomato plant needs no spray to set fruit. The breeze will
do it.

Do Epsom Salts Really Help Plants Grow Better?
Researchers have never been terribly impressed with the effects of Epsom
salts on plants.

However, experienced gardeners have been swearing by Epsom salts for
years, and folk wisdom is often ahead of scientific study.

I'll be trying it as soon as the night time temp gets above 55F.
