Just to keep you thinking - Tomatoes.......
« on: May 26, 2011, 13:43 »
The book says 3" pot until first truss appears.

Never works for me. So I plant in grow bags at about 6".

But the current ones are now over 18" high & still no flower truss.

WHY please??

Mine are the same - I wouldn't worry, they look healthy enough and the trusses will come  :)
There's more comfrey here than you can shake a stick at!

I plant my toms in a raised bed inside the greenhouse,  if there are a couple of plants reluctant to 'truss up',  I bend them over at ground level and send them up the others canes.   :ohmy:    Cheers,   Tony.
I may be growing OLD, but I refuse to grow UP !

Is that little yellow bit peeping out on the lefthand plant a flower? it looks like it to me  :D

They do look nice sturdy plants  :)

Looks like it to me as well.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Oooh, sharp - yes!!

But - that's one hell of a lot of wasted space?
