THE TOMATO GROWING THREAD 2018

The feed I've been using is Tomorite. Is that a good one. I was only feeding once a week as that's all I thought you gave them but have increased to twice weekly. Hope that is correct. I've also got some Miracle Gro all purpose concentrated liquid plant food. is that good.

 

Wow they look fantastic. I'm gonna get well excited to see my first ripe red tomato.

 

Plants are around 3'.

 

Your toms are about the same as the ones I started in march so I would say you are doing well and should be eating some soon. It always seems to take forever for the first ones to ripen but when they do start they come regularly. Going on my timing those sown in March should be producing ripe fruit this month, so you are well on track looking at the fruits in your picture.
Your fruits will start to ripen this month and go on through August ,September, October and possibly into November until the frost stops everything.

That long wow wasn't expecting that. Thought season was practically finished in September lol

 

Hi
Sorry for the delay
The tomato variety is SAKURA. The blue one is indigo blue

 

Tomatoes have reached the top ....6' plus....looking healthy and with fruits and flowers. With all this sunshine they should taste very good. I find toms tastier with less water applied too
High humidity so I am conscious to keep foliage dry and good air circulation (As soon as lowest leaves begin to yellow they are removed) to prevent blight.

 

I've purchased Chempak NO.4 High Potash Plant Feed earlier so will try that instead of the Tomorite.

 

I will do thank you. I've just taken the triangular back piece of glass out of greenhouse and have the window and door open as it was hitting over 40c. Is this a good idea to do? Was thinking of putting a piece of cardboard in at nights.

 

I'm also wondering if it benefits them ripening faster if you take some leaves of above the fruit or below? Does that help.
