How are your tomatoes doing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Flunky]

bugg3r. I thought that if you got flowers you get fruit. Is this not the case ?

Reckon so, provided you don't stress the plant out. Most modern toms are self pollinating. But this variety, MilleFleur,  is a type called centiflor that is very different to any I've grown before.

These are the worst tomatoes i have ever grown thank to the local farmer whom delivered my manure

20 plants outdoors on the allotment; 3 varieties - Alicante, Gardener's Delight and Ferline - but none ripe yet. Also growing 3 Gardener's delight against a south facing wall at home, by ring culture (pots with bottoms cut out in a gravel bed) and 3 more in a flower bed - again, some good sized tomatoes but none ripe yet. It's been a funny old summer.....

well i bought and was sent some wonderful varieties of tomatoes, i even paid out for some early variety and out of all the ones ive grown which looks like the first to ripen? that would be the gardeners delight ::)

The tomatoes are Tigerella Tim.

These are a bush variety called Totem.

we've had our first 6 toms ripened, tigerella  :)
plums are on the way, 1 golden sunrise needs a couple more days and the beefsteak will be next weekend, unless it gets really hot  ;D

[manicscousers]

the san marzano are nearly there, golden sunrise and tigerella are on the menu today  ;D

I had my first ripe sungold yesterday, delicious. :-*

Drove in the drive after work feeling a bit frazzled to see this orange jewel just waiting to be picked. Made all my stresses melt away . Then i patroled the garden gobbling peas and raspberries .
July is a great time to be a gardener!
Sungold rule!

i'm nearly "just" about confident we'll get tomatoes this year, and the first ones will be .....Gardener's Delight     unless the lime Green Salads are already ripe and we don't know  :D

[davyw1]

Try putting some Potash on to help them along.

[tartonterro]

not very well this year - very few flowers, no fruit so far and the tomitilos i planted have turned out to be tomatoes - well disapointed

[tim]

Potash? But we all feed weekly, don't we?

Barnie - mille > centi - strange??

Fork - wish I could grow them like that - so healthy!

[Fork]

I gave mine a dose of Sulphate Of Potash last night.....but only a small helping just to help the ripening along.Too much will "stop" the smaller tomatoes growing any bigger I think?

Im getting impatient for some red tomatoes  ;D

Thanks Tim.The fruit looks healthy enough but the leaves looked terrible thats why I removed so many.

when did you sow the seed , manics? I'm harvesting enough to be giving 'em away at the moment!! ;)

[manicscousers]

the golden sunrise and tigers were end of january, the rest were early march..I don't think the weather has helped up here  ;D

I'm over the moon with my tomatoes this year, all to the kindness of members on here who sent me seeds,  I did lose the names on them but have loads and loads of fruits but haven't a clue what they are but I don't care, a home-grown tom is a home-grown tom and after so many years of losing the crop to blight I have high hopes for this year.

I picked my first nearly red one today and am finishing the ripening off on the windowsill, I just couldn't wait any longer to pick it, it seems to have taken ages to go nearly red :)

Okay probably a very daft and very open ended question but when should i have planted my tomatoes in a non-heated greenhouse? 

I have a feeling i maybe of been far too late - they went in at around april - but have hardly any fruit.....or do i need to be patient..... ???

[jordsbabe]

Should i be excited i've just got flowers on my millions or like the post above are they going to amount to nothing as i was late planting them?

[Larkshall]

Mine are very late, no ripe tomatoes yet
