2017 Tomato Growing

Is it on grafted rootstock?

 

Only if you want just just one or two extremely large tomatoes, otherwise you should get at least 6lbs of tomatoes per truss (think I've had approaching 10lbs).

 

Our Mandy's Shirleys have set

An me plums are swelling :rasp:

 

My toms seem to be thriving outside



Maybe I didn't need to blow £2000 on a Greenhouse after all

 

Oh no!

I have managed to scorch the leaves of all of the plants I had by keeping them in the blow away mini greenhouse and not opening the door... the leaves have all gone a bit crispy!!

The stems and roots are still alive. Will they recover, do you think?! Should they be fed to encourage new leaves to grow? None have flowered yet as they are very young, and the stems are only about 30cm tall.

 

Get them somewhere cooler and put some water in a can to warm up, don't water them with cold water so as not to shock them anymore.

They should recover

 

Stellar reply - thank you! fingers are massively crossed. warm water will be the way to go. They need to go into a bigger planter - would moving them now be a bit too much of a shock too, do you think? Thanks for your advice, @Zigs

 

No worries Tops

If you can do it without disturbing the roots it should be ok.

Mine got cooked a few weeks back, someone shut the greenhouse door while I was in Shineyland

This one was just a stump when I transplanted it.

 

Amazing, thanks @Zigs - I will have a go later this afternoon, they are only currently in about 3inch diameter pots so i will put them in a much larger one and the roots can potentially have a nice warm bath... in this weather... yuk!! but thank you!

 

They'll love it Tops

Threw a handful of my sundried ones in with my pasta for lunch, lovely

 

Mine have gone poop. Think it's too warm in the poly tunnel, 40c? I'm wetting the floor, leaving the door open and soaking them.. and still this happens



Any suggestions?
Black icicle has leaves longer than my arms..

 

Can you move them out of the tunnel?
