Early tomatoes

A bucket of Cider Vinegar for you too then.

 

No no no ... a copper bangle and take care that his dangly bits don't knock into his tuber ...

 

thanks for the advice kristen, i inherited the veg patch which was designed by my towny boss's :D (they are nice people)
it looks pretty but so much space is wasted and i can't get my teeth in to a good production of veg.
i've worked on old victorian veg patchs where we grew fields of veg.
i'm lucky to have planted 10 potatoes in one section, moan, moan , moan
ok i've finished moaning and i do belive that we should be thankful for what we recieve. god knows i wouldn't afford a garden like i work in

 

Afraid not John:( Someone was saying on another thread that it completely cured arthritis by eating their bones away. Or something like that.

 

And 5 days later they've germinated and are showing through - the race to the first tomato of 2012 is on !

Not previously, but I've got some Black Krim and Black Prince for sowing this year.

If you make your own cider vinegar it can have residual alcohol. I taste test, then paper strip pH test and finally use a titration test, because giving it to our hens as a tonic before all the alcohol has been converted to acetic acid might cause serious disorder in the hen house.

 

I've just looked in the greenhouse and as I now have one poking through checked the http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/gardeners-corner-village-produce-competition.39899/ but couldn't see an obvious class to show them in.


My Red Alert early bush toms are approx 150mm high and in 90 x 90mm pots (with stem/roots buried all the way down to the bottom).

 

Surprised mine haven't got a first truss on yet! Happy as Larry on my south facing windowsill, not a bit leggy and I really do have to pot them on at the weekend :(

 

hi quick question as ive not grown toms from seed before,ive got a seed tray of tumbler tomatoes on the go and some of them have true leaves now but some are just coming up..do i pick out n pot up the true leaved ones now or wait til they all are ready??? thanks x

 

thanks jwk, i just wanted a few around the garden so the kids can pick them off, i was hoping it would keep them from raiding the greenhouse again this yr(more ends up on the floor unripened,vandals) i bought a variety of tom plants from the may day market in chesterfield for the greenhouse last yr and prob will do again come may,ive got no space left in the house to grow more x

 

Well done John
