Is it too late for tomatoes
« on: May 11, 2016, 19:22 »
After weeks some cherry tomatoes have terminated is it too late for them to grow and produce fruit this year given we are well into May. Thanks

If you go with a quick maturing variety like sungold you should be fine, I only sowed mine three weeks ago and with the turn in the weather they grow pretty fast.

Certainly not too late especially if you're going to be growing in a greenhouse or polytunnel  :)

i sowed mine last week in the tunnel, where they will be grown.

i find they soon catch if you can germinate them in the same place that you are growing them. i find getting them to adapt from in doors to the tunnel doesn't do them any favours.

worked for me last year but this years late frosts aren't ideal.

If you keep a look out, there are companies selling plants at postage only (or very cheap). Last week T&M did 10 Aperitif plants for £1.99 and my guess is (based upon last year) that there could well be other similar offers as the season for plants runs out.
