Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

I spotted the trailing tomatoes in Sainsbury's today but they were seedy things in a packet with no soil and no leaves. I wouldn't know what to do with them.

Maybe next year.

It's amazing what warmth and water can do

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

Ours are going great guns, we have hanging ones grown upside down in a bucket, training ones in top of bucket and another six plants in open border and they are all setting fruits now. Anyone got courgettes ours are huge plants but no flowers yet ?

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

Flowers are out on mine with small fruits, I have them against an outside wall

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

How often do you feed yours, weekly?

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

Not feeding yet Mups, I am relying on the compost to have enough food for another couple of weeks then I will hit them with the tomato fertiliser.
This warm and wet spring has really been appreciated by the veg.
Edited to add, but I am watering every day

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

I have loads of flowers but they don't make fruits if I tap them they fall off .

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

That will be the male flowers Muddy, your female flowers should be along shortly, you will notice a swelling behind the flower and that will be your courgette, in the mean time eat the flowers, deep fried or in batter, all us posh people do it

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

Sorry I only deep fry Mars bars .
( just kidding )

No really so all my tomatoes are useless males?
Wouldnt you know it.

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

Now I am confused. Older varieties of cucumbers did need to have the male removed-but these days they are FI all female.

As for tomatoes-they do their own thing.
