2014 Tomato Growing

Sown my Manx Marvels a few days ago

 

@Sheal

Did we decide it was a bush type in the end?

 

I had one of each but I think more bush , to think last year they had the electric propagator and eractic germination, this year I put into small pots in the greenhouse and up in 4 days no problem and all the seeds husks came off in one go , I used John innes no 1 with added sand , I think using the perlite kept the seed husks on ?

Spruce

 

Cheers Sheal

 

Good job I read this,I was assuming it was a cordon...

 

Zigs, here you go I'll let you make your own mind up although I found they were better as cordons. They are best grown outside once they get going. I put mine back in the greenhouse late in the season so the last of the fruit would ripen. I'd stripped most of the leaves off the one in the second picture to let the sun through.

 

Nice one Sheal

 

Pretty as a picture Loli...

Sorry to hear that FC. Not too late to start them off on the window sill without bottom heat. I still have loads of various ones. I can send 'em up to ya in a couple of days,
Jenny.

Black Russian
San Marzano
Ferline

They look good! Mine are only small in comparison but I've been wondering too when they should go into my blowaway. I haven't grown tomatoes before so I'm sort of learning as I go and hoping I don't mess up!

 

This year I'm growing:
Emerald evergreen
Lemon Boy
Noire de Crimee (Black Krim)
Tresor
Super sweet 100 cherry toms

I usually just have some plants from whatever my dad has grown from seed as he enjoys that but this year he's not been well enough to do anything so I've had to choose my own plants. So I thought I'd try a few different varieties from the local garden centre and see what I like (or not)
