2013 Tomato Growing

Nice one Scrungee you're doing well with those...i actually ate my last 2013 tomato tonight.....

 

But aren't you growing in a greenhouse? You should be getting toms later than those grown in poly tunnels/outdoors.

 

Yes i was Scrungee but it's the first year i can ever remember that they all ripened early...my GH has been cleared since early October

 

Maybe I'm reaping the benefits of sowing and planting late this year, which was a deliberate strategy after sowing too early last year.

 

Yes i 'd sown mine earlier than normal this year plus with the added heat from the summer it certainly speeded them up...

I was even tempted to sow a couple of seeds NOW...just to see if i could keep them going....i don't think i can face a shop tomato....the only problem i can see is the light situation...i could keep them warm easy enough...do you think it's possible @Scrungee or am i on a hiding to nothing?

 

I'll be sowing Red Robin seeds shortly for spring cropping tomatoes grown indoors under lights.

 

I'm going to start some seeds around Christmas time here, just need to decide on what, and waiting on some trades and swaps to come in.

 

It has been a good year for me also after a slow start. My tomatoes finished a month ago and I'm still trying to avoid shop bought. Yuck!

 

Store bought=

 

As that frost warning has been brought forward to tomorrow morning I picked the last few of mine today (and I've still got 7 mushroom boxes of tomatoes in various stages of ripeness in the kitchen)

 

Well done.

 

Time to start the 2014 thread @JWK?

So where do I post about Nov/Dec sown seeds for early 2014 cropping? I thought about mentioning here with a link to post in 2014 thread as it's for 2014 cropping.
