Tomatoes in mini greenhouse
« on: July 23, 2010, 22:28 »
I've got two tomatoes growing in mini greenhouse, but they've now reached the top of the greenhouse - should I cut the tops off?

I'm really not sure what to do!  :(

Yes, cut the tops off, and make sure you pinch put/cut off any shoots comimg from the leaf axils too  :D

Fantastic - Thank You!

I haven't done anything to them at all, have green toms at mo.

How do I pinch out shoots from leaf axels.  That is, what should I be aiming to be left with?

Pinching side shoots out or not depends on the variety. What are they?

Thumbnail & forefinger method for me.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

From what I hear, we all seem to have green toms at the moment...!
