Tomato Growing Thread 2022

I've never used the fungi before, sounds like something I should try, so will give it a go next year.

 

I used it on the plants I put out yesterday.
The packet was probably nearly a year old though so not sure it's going to work.

 

i used a packet last year that was three years old and it worked ok, however saying that it may now be resedent in my greenhouse border as i have used it for years

 

This year i am also using in my new greenhouse empathy afterplant tomato feed and bio stimulant

 

Wow! Yet again a crowd of 'experts' with their own great ways of doing things! I've got my ways of doing things, though my results are not as good!

 

Secrets out folks.
Drip feed your plants with Benecole

 

I'm growing a couple of "Tomande" plants this year, new to me but I think its probably a F1 version of Marmande which along with Super marmande I grew years ago.

Its a beefsteak type and I've always found you get this first flower on every truss that is a complete mess, and its happening here, kind of more than one fruit develops like Siamese twins.

the others on the truss usually form well shaped toms, so I'm cutting that first flower off of these hoping the strength goes to the rest of the truss.

 

I put 6 into pots outside and covered with fleece for now. 2xcrimson crush 2x aurora (an early determinate) and 2x banan krasnyi an early russian semi determinate. I still have a few I could try in the ground ... probably got enough now though

 

Here's my Lizzano from last year. It was in a pot on top of a wall. It was depicted as a tumbling plant on Premier Seeds and so I didn't remove any sideshoots. I just let it flop over and tumble down the wall.
