Well, since I am new here and I see many of you are in similar zones to mine I will add my nickel`s worth here. I add a bit of commercial fertilizer worked in well, then the tomato, topped with a couple of TBSP of epsom salts worked around on top of the soil. The entire garden is amended each year with horse manure so little is needed. I do not water if the soil is moist. Too much water at planting time makes the roots happy to be where they are,,by not watering they will begin to spread faster in search of water and I think that makes a stronger root system. But that's just my opinion.
