My dad has been growing tomatoes in a greenhouse for years. He always gets loads of really nice tasting tomatoes but the skins are so tough you have to take them off! Any idea what is causing this?
Does anyone know whether pepper plants prefer a small amount of water or lots like tomato plants. Ours are a little wilted and are kept outside in a sunny shaded spot.
I am growing tomatoes for the first time, not sure what sort they are. I have 3 plants which have grown to a good height in pots outside, they all have a good amount of flowers on and a handful of small tomatoes but the leaves at the bottom of the plants are starting to curly and turn yellow. I have been feeding on a weekly basis and watering everyday, is this right, I was told to stop watering when fruit appears as they will ripen quicker, not sure thats sounds right really, I have a ref book which hasnt helped me at all. can anyone give me some tips/ advice, please
I know very little about gardening. i took seeds from a tomato and threw them in a pot then watered them that was 6weeks ago,i now have a plant of around3feet and a stack of tomato buds coming on i water every day but have never fed them anything but dry tealeaves cant wait to see how they come out, oh by the way i have them against the window in my conservatory.
Grew some tomatoes(Name-'Big Boy') in my greenhouse. Put my greenhouse on original sleepers. One of my plants not looking too good after bearing one green tomato. Took out plant and broke it in two, the core of the tomato was black from top to bottom, even the very thin branch that held the one green tomato was black also. Could you please tell me what was wrong with my tomato plant?. PS. I burnt the tomato plant. Thank you in anticipation of your quick reply.
I am growing tomatoes for the first time and am trying a variety - think is "green fingered" - They are going black on the bottom, also when are they ready to pick - any ideas?
I am growing 3 tomato plants in a growbag and 1 bush tomato in a hanging basket all 4 in my greenhouse. The bush plant is doing well with plenty of healthy growth and lots of flowers.The plants in the growbags look extremely green and healthy but have very few flowers (in fact one of them has none at all)the plants are about 4 feet tall,I water them regularly and have started to feed in an attempt to encourage more flowers.Some advice would be much appreciated.
I have some lovely(green)tomatoes - indeed have had some over the last 4 years. The big problem is that they will not turn red in the greenhouse so I have to put them in a drawer in the house accompanied by a red tomato and a banana where they turn red within a matter of days. They are beginning to turn red as I write. Why do they not turn red?
