Tomato growers?

[solofoe]

Put in peppers and tomatoes earlier this year. Small garden but enough for a smile. All 9 peppers are costa rican hybrids. Love these peppers. Long red peppers that turn faster than the fat bell peppers. 4 tomato plants, 1 orange zinger and 3 traditional fruits hybrid tomato plants.

Nothing but the usual 3 gallons of goat poo, the rest of the kelp, and some 0-7-0 bat guano to spare. Lot's of tree's here so the garden gets at most 6 hours direct sun. Usually 1 - 2 peppers a plant and 5 - 6 lbs per tomato plant.

The grandparents garden gets all day sun. They give me a few veggies and fruits. The blueberries are doing much better this year. Just dosed them with elemental sulfur, goat manure and something from epsoma as well as epsom salts. The berries at the bottom of the slope grow much better from water being down there more. The southern 2 rows were not tilled correctly and struggle to outgrow weeds. Really fighting to not use sprays.

I'm attempting to clone a bunch of blueberry cuttings I have some in the ground already butt I didn't do (dindu) much soil prep just planted them where we've been applying pine straw for about 8 years... planted late last summer out of 3, one died one set fruit the other is growing but has some markings on the leaves I've been applying coffee grounds pine straw and some acid lovers fert I top dressed with... i feel like I'm just keeping them going I think I'll try some sulfer

A lot of fertilizers for acid loving plants contain aluminum sulfate. I’ve always used Espoma’s Holly-tone (for acid loving plants), it’s a slow release and pretty much all organic.

Is anybody growing tomatoes in super soil?
I think is a good way to have good yields...

Does Black Krim have good taste??

Bump. Nice pics ecr8d , this year I am growing some Latah heirloom bush tomatoes and some red wild heirloom tomatoes both are very productive and easy to grow.

This leaf is from a heirloom Bull Heart type tomato plant. The seeds came from a 1.4 Kg (3.1 Lbs) tomato. The 2€ coin on the leaflet is 25.75 mm in diameter. A little bit more than 1 inch.

I am waiting for the tomatoes. They are still unripe.

@ecr8d those are nice looking tomatoes, I love growing tomatoes. I'm trying to grow one using hydroponics

 

[Lester Beans]

Getting there on the tomatoes finally. Dry year so tactical watering required. Main crop this year is Big Beef. They grow so well and taste like old school tomatoes. Another main crop is Estrina yellow cherry tomatoes. Really good flavor, old time tomato flavor with a zing of acid. Delicious! And the yield is unreal!

A little selection of some heirlooms i chose,

I tried to do a fair amount of research the last few years, looking for a large selection of different varieties that generally seem to all have very positive reviews.

I am not an experienced tomato grower but I know a lot about this plant. Every year I try to grow new types and variants of this vegetable because I am very interested in this business. Since I have already tried many different options, this year I wanted to do something special and I often looked for the answer to the question on the Internet: how deep do tomato roots grow? I found an excellent article the author of which tells everything in great detail and clearly. I think that all beginners in this business and even professionals will be interested and useful to read

Hi
Growing two different greek varieties
Distance between them 40cm,was the advice I was given
Garden patio,about 20/25cm deep

 

[Nannymouse]

love the heirlooms and saving seed. They have to be fast here, though, even started indoor.

faves:Rutgers, Golden King of Siberia, Woodle Orange, and mostly BLACK PRINCE.

Have a Brandywine with leaves as long as my arm. I’ll try and get some pics.

edit:
The leaves are all tangled so I can’t show…but the fruit is wonderful. May be ugly but damn
