2013 Tomato Growing

Calm down, calm down This is 'Tomato Growing' thread. I'm sure the competition thread will be along shortly

 

Is that a competition for the first ripe tomato?

 

Think you'll have won that one by next week Scrunge

 

I was assuming that there would be another 'Biggest Tomato' thread

 

I've just done a search, we don't seem to have started one yet, we've been talking about seed distribution for it on this one though.

 

Ive just started 2 plants of each type from the list earlier, with the exception of Roma 'cos I dont seem to be able to find the seeds ATM. But I did discover a surprise packet of koralik lurking in between the broad beans, so Ive started 2 of them too.

No particular plan for starting them this early, just noticed that it went over 20'c in my greenhouse today in the sun, so feel I should be doing something with the free heat. I expect to be moaning about the return of the cold sending all my plants back to sleep shortly.

 

The first flowers only just opening, so several weeks yet. The problem will be getting the humidity in the grow box right.

 

I have sown some Rio Grande tomato seeds, which seem to be taking ages, has anyone tried these?

 

Glad to see your ESP module still working well John!

 

I'm also growing Early Goliath,Better Boy and Big Zac
