Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

[QUOTE=Barry;1180647]Here are my plants this morning Muds, left and right are "Shirley", and the one in the middle is a cherry tomato "Supersweet".



Barry, they look good.

Tell me something, how do you get the supports to stay upright in growbags? I never find them deep enough to sink the supports in, but yours look good.
I use large deep tubs instead now.

I actually build a framework Mups, which is supported at the top by being attached to the greenhouse frame as in the picture. By the way the plant at the far end is cucumber, we are having the first of them on our salad today.

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

They look great Barry. I have my Shirley planted outside and they have tomatoes turning red already. Must be this hot weather as that is early for us.
Mups we sink the grow bags into the ground and always cut a square at the bottom of each section so the roots can get deeper.
Well I say we, actually its he

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

As the tomatoes in my greenhouse are not doing so well, l have now brought them outside to see if they'll do any better.

Talking about flowers, the flowers on my runner beans are falling off and l can see only one bean! I have fed them today and let the hose run in the earth around them.
Let's hope they improve!!

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

Art, this happened to me one year and I have found the white flowered plants less succeptable to this problem than the red.

See if this helps:

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

My beans have done good and we are eating them now .
The outside tomatoes have set Ok so it must be the heat inside as you thought Mups .
