Tomato Growing 2024

All you need is ONE plant. On Facebook today was one plant growing in a special greenhouse which produced a 32,000 harvest which is a world record (I was amazed!) Lots of shoots but only one main stem!!
No ...? Not going to try in ANY way!!!

 

The seeds for this one are for sale on eBay, @Glynne Williams . I have a couple of buckets of alpaca poo out in the garden, which should keep the plant going for a while. Maybe I should give it a go.

 

My 'Gardeners Delight' cutting is still growing on the balcony without any attention from me! I wonder if it will survive any more frosts like the 3 we had in December 2023?

 

That plant is hardcore! I test sowed one of its seeds that you sent me, @Balc. It popped up in five days.

 

My Microtom "Fat Frog" that a certain saint donated to me is well on his way in my totally-not-shady bathroom growstation. His siblings havent appeared yet though.

Meanwhile my 7 month old Bequinho peppers are finally flowering. so many too for such a tiny plant and pot, bout damn time! Unfortunately none of them got pollinated yet cause i forgot about it.

IGNORE THE MESS

 

Fat Frog is certainly a willing little thing. The bigger of my self-sown plantlets looks to be heading towards its first flower truss.

 

i was waiting till March to put my Fat Frog seeds in the propagator but it looks like i will be a little late. Will probably settle for the middle of this week now! "Fingers crossed as I haven't sown from seed before"
I'm thinking I will need smaller pots with a micro bush @eatenbyweasels ... will 9L be OK?

 

Mine is in a tiny pot under grow lights. I sowed it very early just to we how it would grow!
I wouldnt worry about your pots being too big, beyond the danger of accidentally overwatering them indoors.

 

Thank you @JWK - I thought it was best to check that I have the month right; and have even got it down to sow in March on my work sheet. "still on a learning curb me thinks"

 

I discovered the Fat Frog seedlings when I was emptying out the pots in early November. I wouldn't have sown seeds then, but I just decided to keep them going as an experiment. You're certainly not behind with your sowing. The pots I used for the Micro Dwarfs last year were probably about ten litres and there was plenty of room, so nine litres should be fine. In fact I may well try smaller pots this year as some American sellers of the Micro seeds talk in terms of pots as small as six inches.

 

The red one looks a bit manky John.
