Tomatoes

"within a few weeks"

Sooner I reckon Have a little feel in the soil and see how they are getting on - I think a good watering will help swell the tubers too

 

My first time too at growing broad beans.They are in a container, about 3/4 foot high, looking very sturdy and healthy, just coming into flower. I did put in canes to help support them ,as yet they don`t appear to need them.I also planted peas at the same time same conditions,they too are looking good.
The broad beans are Bunyards Exhibition, the peas are Kelvedon Wonder. Any advice on when and if to feed,also when to pick veg. Thanks Barb.

 

They will be making their own Nitrogen, so no need to help them with that. But as they are in a container they may need some help with fruiting - a Tomato fertiliser, or Phostrogen, will probably do the trick - the ratio of the N:P:K figures needs to be around 1-to-1-to-2 (so 4-4-8 or 5-5-10 would do).

I would pick them small - they will be more tasty than when they have turned to bullets!

Open a pod of peas and try them raw, if they taste good they are ready!
