My veggies are super lush, as compared to my neighbor, whose tomatoes look like dried up field grass. It helps if you water.
My four raised beds are about 8'x5'. I added 320 lbs of steer manure (8 bags) and a full package of time release fertilizer before planting. I'll repeat the fertilizer dose at the end of July. I water it every day for 15 minutes with a timed sprinkler. The tomato plants are huge and I've been busy picking off suckers. Quite a few tomatoes have already set.
