Tomato Growing Thread 2023

We only have 4 plants growing which is plenty for the 2 of us to eat fresh.
They've been out in our greenhouse for about 5 weeks now ( in containers) and get moved outside during the day. If temps dip
overnight then they get fleeced.

 

They are a bit more tolerant of cold temperatures than chillis but yeah it's still a bit much for them. I'm aiming to put mine out next weekend though. They are outside all day now, even though yesterday was only about 8c with the wind chill.

 

Found a variety of tomato today that I have never seen in the local GC's.

It was called Amish Golden and from the pictures on Google it looks really good.

Has anyone grown it before and if so did it taste good?

 

The blurb on the internet says it tastes like Sungold, which can't be a bad thing.

I was just wondering if that is the case, as I might just have room for one more plant.

 

It may be a silly question, but, what is better for Tomato plants, sitting outside on a dullish day or under indoor growlights.

 

I put my lights away a few weeks ago, they didn't seem to be doing much.
My plants were still getting leggy.
It is early May you know

 

Getting some volunteers in the greenhouse borders now.

I'm going to put mine in the greenhouses this week I think. Still cool but when the sun comes out it hits high 20s and even today in dull weather it was 18c in there

 

Even though it has been very cool and raining for days I began taking tomatoes from the grow tent and LED light today and putting them in the greenhouse. It is heated during the night, and even with the cool weather it is in the high 60s F during the day. From past experience I know that within a very few days they will really begin to grow. The containers are Autopots, so the plants will be gravity fed with water and nutrients controlled by float valves in the trays.

 

It looks a lot cleaner than mine.
