I would like to know at what point do I clip the top of the tomato plants, they are growing big and tall and producing more and more flowers but not too many tomatoes...........please can anyone give me advice on this!
The black spots on the bottom of your tomatoes is called "blossom end rot". The main cause of this is irregular watering, pick off any that have gone black, cos they won't recover. Make sure you water the plants regulary (most important thing with tomatoes).
This is my first time growing toms I have 4 large plants in pots with loads of tom which are green. Have feed and watered them but no sign of them turning red. How long do they normally take.
We grow toms in our greenhouse, and they are very good croppers - usually, but this year several of the plants have very good crops, but they have not got bright, glossy skins, instead they are matt red, and the toms themselves are not good eaters but are quite hard. What causes the skins to remain matt? we water them nearly every day once they have got toms on them, while there is a good flow of air through the greenhouse. Any ideas gratefully received.
Can you please tell me if you can use potash, when growing tomatoes, to help feed them? if so can you put it in the feed. at the moment i'm feeding them just tomato rite.
I live in Andalucia in Spain Planted seeds from England 5 weeks ago and now have plants 3feet tall bearing fruit I cannot beleive how quick this has happenned out here they are on the topp terrace of our land and I feed them with diluted horse manure (put some in a large bucket and fill with water feed every 5 days) let you know when I taste the first tomato.
