What's the best fertilizer for container tomato plants?

I have only two containers of tomato plants but I have not fertilized them yet. Guess I was not thinking...now I realized that I need to but wanted to know what is the best organic fertilizer to use? Thanks for any input.

Tomato tone is a popular organic food for tomatoes.

I have a product that so far has worked for my tomatoes. the second part of a healthy plant is the soil.

I don't have a picture of it here but it was just an organic one. the benifit of this product is you can use it for a foliar application and then soil. I do it weekly so far so good!

I used this in the beginning to give my plants a boost. EVERYTHING loved this. I'm pretty sure it's the secret to my success. I will throw a couple pellets into some of the potted plants once in awhile but I don't want to overdo the nitrogen:

I use this later in the season, once plants are established to make sure they have enough nutrients in pots:

I also use this every two-3 weeks:

Thanks so much for everyone's input. I fertilized last night with Dr. Earth so we will see...
