Tomato Planting


Friday and Saturday weren't very June like. Friday was dull and drizzly and Saturday was dull and breezy. Both days were on the cool side with below average temperatures, the story of the growing year so far.

I’ve at last got some tomato plants a suitable size for planting out into pots and grow bags. It’s been a real struggle in this cool weather to produce some good plants.
On the left last year’s plants on 8th June 2011 already had their first flower trusses whereas this year the plants have only just been planted into growbags. I think it’s going to take a spell of good weather in autumn or we will be having lots of green tomato chutney.

  1. I'm still struggling with my tomato plants, they just don't seem to want to grow. I don't think I'll have as many as I intended this year.

  2. Hi Jo

    Wow that was a quick reply.

    Just had a look at some more pictures of last years toms and I noticed that I planted some young plants into grow bags last year at this time as a later crop. I seem to remember that they did OK so maybe it's not too late to get a crop even now.
