planting tomatoes
« on: May 06, 2020, 10:44 »
Well the weather is fine and my tomatoes are ready so I am starting planting today. I have prep'd a bed 7m x 4m and want ot get three rows of toms and some aubergine and peppers in that space. However during the course of seeing whether I could get them in there I discovered that tomatoes, unlike a lot of other plants, can be grown in the same spot year on year without problem?? Which is nice because that means that this bed will become my tomato patch  :lol:

Andy, did you use your old worn-out thermals or was it some sheep's wool from the local farmer?  :tongue2:
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

The forecast for my area over the next is good min about 10-14C and max 20-25C so I am going for it as usually  the weather improves as we get nearer to June.

Our 'Shirley' toms were not that good at germinating this year for some reason, so I sowed some more, and they've all come up with a vengeance!

The main lot are in their places, and I'm now wracking my brains for the last thirteen plants...

(Just realised, if they all go in, we all know a song about 'When I'm sixty-four', don't we:0~

Might give some away around here...

I have taken a flyer and planted out about 40% of my toms ( Black Russian and ferline). Holding the others back for a couple of weeks  in case the cold snap on Sunday is nastier than predicted.
