A bigger crop of tomatoes on the way
Saturday, July 5th, 2008
The tomatoes are looking very good. They’ve been through the ringer a bit this year as i potted them on late, and quite a few got leggy due to being moved indoors. I forgot to water quite a few aswell, and, being in pots, this meant lots of droopy tomatoes.
Most finally ended up in one of the 3 grow bags we bought and are now huge! I put the spares into a bit pot at the garden, but they aren’t doing hugely well.
I’ve always been confused about this sideshoot lark, but went for it anyway. The plants looked a little mashed up by the time i’d finished, but the little yellow flowers have come up nicely.
Last year we only had 2 hanging baskets of tunmbling tom tomatoes so having 12 plants growing well means we will have a lot of tomatoes. I’ve just watered them with ‘Tomorite’ now that the little green toms have set…so it’s just a waiting game now.
