Happy Days When Tomatoes Start To Turn Red ;-)


Happy Days When Tomatoes Start To Turn Red ;-)

I can't 'do' tomatoes like this. I think next year I am going to try growing them outside of the greenhouse. For me, the leaves just go all curled and funny coloured and although I get tomatoes, they are always smaller than they should be and they just never look very nice. I tried one outside this year on a south facing wall at the side of my house, and this seems to be much much better. I have one bunch on tomatoes (Alicante from seed) and they are a much better size. but there are only 6/7 on this one bunch. We will have to fight over them.

Yours look so good!

Thats the trouble isnt it Amy, they need everyday care, bit tempremental. Im just hoping the dreaded blight keeps away. They are in their raised beds now with under soil heating so fingers crossed.
Hello Samba.its too cold here for tomatoes to do any good outside. We had a frost on 10th June and this morning it was only 4 degrees. I find they like lots of feed for fruit and leaves. Tomorite and chicken manure im using and home made comfrey fertiliser.
