2016 Tomato Growing

Thank you.

 

my first tomatoes are forming!



I'm also growing currant tomatoes which I read are best left to grow as they want, rather than keeping them to a single stem. That's all very well but it's taken over my greenhouse [emoji15] absolutely loaded with developing toms though.

 

How come you should cut off any outgrowings in between the plant and "arms" ?
Ive read that it has something to do with the tomatoes getting ready before the cold.

But that dosent really apply in a apartment. Or are the other reasons?

 

I have two varieties growing. The one in flowers right now is an "indeterminate" and the second (witch still is very small) is hundreds & thousands, so the bushy type.

I have read different things depending on where I look. But I suppose trying out for myself is the best. Its called "tomatoberry" and supposed to get heart shaped tomatoes.

Do indeterminate tomatoes actually produce until the climate gets cold enough?
(Do you thing I could pick tomatoes in December in my south facing window?

I would suppose that the sun wont provide enought "juice" by that time, but
interesting thought.

 

I have actually missed some of these side shootings and didnt realize that
they where there, until I properly looked for them. Funny how the plants
ju go on, with or without me.

Oh and is it true that tomatoes hate being crowded? Mine are actually not,
but I definetely see potencial in "bushening" them since theres still a lot of
open window space Perhaps no need for a Christmas tree this year, just
bring down the gnomes etc. and place them with the tomatoes. No need for
"christmas-tree-balls" either, tomatoes already in place

 

Thank you for your answers. Exciting to see how they will react indoors then.
The two plants that has begun flower are actually those closest to the open windows,
witch tells something about their relationship to temperature I guess.

However, I would not let them go till December, would just feel wrong. Perhaps the harvest
could be at my birthday, 30th of October then. Will keep in mind to give them space as well,
because I dont think it will last forever.

 

Certainly! Will get back later this evening.

 

Were just about to show my mother the yellow flowers and pointed at one
with the top of my finger *poff* dropped to the floor.
However only one. I assume this was left since before I started with the
gentle shaking and fan towards the plants for pollination then.

 

Here comes three newly taken pics of my "indoor garden".


..Just below here: )

Seven Tomato plants atm.

 

How long do I get with "gold water" by the way?
Read a test in Sweden where this won first place out of
20 other chemical substanses.

But not sure what to think really.
