Tomato Growing Thread 2021

Today I cut my losses and picked all the toms in the tunnel - some red and some still green, binned all the iffy looking ones and put the rest on trays in the greenhouse where they'll ripen over the next few weeks. If we have too many to use we'll dehydrate them and store in plastic bags where they'll keep for years.
I've lifted all the stems and binned them and later this year I'll remove the top inch or so of soil. water the bed in the tunnel with Jeys and cover it with plastic in the hope that it will kill any spores of blight.

 

I was thinking of doing the old Jeyes fluid method myself next year, if I do bother growing any.

I stopped using it for some reason, it was only when I found a can in the shed I thought it might be worth a try.

 

Off topic, but I will be spraying my apple trees and grapevines with it after pruning this winter.

 

Today's pickings from my 5 Shirley tomato plants.

 

What do you mean by jeyes???

 

Do you just add it to the soil or just spray around the windows etc etc

 

I will get that done too then…..will it kill slugs lol

 

I got plenty of sluggo spread over the top soil in the new greenhouse that i built from my raised beds, just in case there was some in there…..it will get rid of them quick enough
