Thread: Tomatoes

I tried growing from actual tomato seeds, and after several weeks of nothing, looked across the yard to see a healthy tom plant growing in amoungst a passionfruit vine!
I have no idea how it got there,, except Guiness is quite fond of tomatoes...

Now growing quite well , better than anything tried when I had a normal garden. Maybe something for a Christmas salad ?

Balcony gardener hey?
Not something like George Carlins "Toledo Window Box?

Out of interest I bought a couple of "upside down" tomato planters from Bunnings.
They are going OK.One had cucumbers in wich got frosted,so I poked a lateral off another tomato in there its going well.


My other tomatoes are doing better.
These are called "giant roma",not impressed,they seem to be very bushy,no flowers yet.


These are impressing the hell out of me,they are the same age as my other toms.I was given 4 spindly seedlings from a Banana plantation in Carnarvon.They are growing like the legendary bean stalk.

My tomatoes grow prolifically all year around. I just put old tomatoes in and they grow.
