Tomatoes

This year I had a major disaster in my mini greenhouse, the wind whipped up and knocked over my mini greenhouse, sending all my seedlings into the veg patch. We managed to rescue most but some were lost. The tomatoes were in with this lot and most were saved, my problem though is this: I planted 6 varieties - Garden Pearl, Marmande, San Marzano, Golden Sunrise, Red Cherry and Tigerella. They are all growing nicely but I have no idea which is which - can anyone help?

My second question is why arent they flowering? :( I've pinched out the suckers on all lower trusses that are developing, but most trusses only have 1 leaf on the end of them. I've begun feeding them with tomorite to try and whip them into action but no luck (except one of the bush varieties in the black pots). Should I pinch the tall ones out now to stop them? They are all being grown in mini greenhouses, in growbags and pots. HELP!! :confused:








and then there's my peppers - hardly worth a mention!

 

I think I was too late with the peppers, but I cant understand the tomatoes. They are in full sunlight pretty much all day and i've been watering them quite a lot every 2 days. I've only fed them once so far as they were planted into the grow bags after being moved from small peat pots (wont be using them again!) and will be feeding them tonight, im going to be feeding them twice every week (says to do this on tomorite bottle for toms in greenhouse). Im just going to see what happens!

I've had lots of potatoes, raddish, rasberries and the blueberries & strawberries are currently ripening so i've done well on some things at least! Just waiting on carrots, broccoli, courgettes, salad onions and lettuce!

 

I hope its just me, but they don't look all that much that like Tom plants to me :(

 

"they are some good instructions and pictures on the forum somewhere "

I like this video:

I hope it doesn't look like this:

I think you may be right,JWK. There seems to be a lot of side shoots on those plants.

 

Must say I do tend to agree with Kristen, some of those plants look very un-tomato like to me. For myself I would not feed them at that stage, I think you will find on the bottle it says that you start feeding when the first truss has set i.e. when little tomatoes appear.

 

they are definately not rocket, we havent planted any. just to confirm, is what i've shown below correct?? Im a bit confused!

 

uh oh...

mine looks just like that, leaf shape and everything! what is it? :confused:

edit:

oh my god its a weed, i have 6 of these.... what the HECK! ARRRRRGH! But the leaves smell like toms! Oh well, my bush ones in the black pots are definately toms.... arent they?!

Does anyone think I should put these into the growbag??

 

"what is it?"

Fat Hen maybe?

I grew 10 Verbascum plants from seeds this spring. Nurtured them, planted them out, and a month later realised that four of them were weeds :(
