Tiny tomatoes
« on: July 26, 2011, 11:15 »
My tumbling tomatoes are absolutely laden with fruit. Unfortunately only the pea sized fruits are ripening. Should I remove these to give the larger fruits more opportunity to ripen?

I can't see that it would make much difference, unless the little ones are blocking the light?

Not blocking light at all. Just that the tiny ones (and I mean pea sized) are ripening and the bigger ones are all still green

If they all set at the same time the tiddlers will always ripen first as there is less of them to ripen!  :)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

Some people grow a variety that has tiny fruits specially --- you seem to have two kinds for the price of one  :D

I have had ONE Sun Gold tom so far and it went straight in my mouth.....as will many of the first ones.
I have been waiting so long but it's been worth all the work.The flavour is exquisite....
