Tomato Growing Thread 2022

Are they eggs or holes?

 

I suppose they could be, Pete...it's hard to tell from the picture.

 

Not whitefly I suggest? Usually on growing point (could be there as well I suppose) When they attack me that's where they start and then flyaround before taking a rest on the underside of leaves.
Could be the dreaded burrowers of last week but they usually solo?? Certainly predatory insects though?!

 

Thanks for the help guys, the owner of said leaf has found some Thrips, so culprit found.

 

In a week's time I expect to put my tomato plants in the growbags. You are supposed to wait until they show flowers before putting them in the bags, it even says so on the bags. I haven't seen any flowerbuds on my plants at the moment but then where they are at present it's difficult to reach them. Just watering them is an exercise in acrobatics!

 

I think when you compare a greenhouse plant to an outdoor plant the height is the most noticeable.
Distance between leaves up the stem is about half I would say.

 

I'm not.

 

The ones I planted on the allotment a couple of weeks ago have hardly moved.
But I think the ground is still not very warm for tomatoes especially the area where I'm trying no dig.

 

My Ukrainian seeds arrived! Lots of freebies thrown in, too.

 

Great they have turned up and very good of them regarding the freebies considering what they are going through.
