  • Totem tomato

    I've managed (more by luck than management!) to grow a totem tomato plant which is now full of fruit and looking very healthy but it's also full of leaves.
    I know it's a bush variety but would it be better for them toms if I take some of the leaves off? There's loads of toms hidden and I'm worried they might not ripen as they won't get any direct heat (the plant is outside).

    I have a couple of plants that are fruiting heavily. I have had some red toms from them and funny enough it is those in the middle and hidden by leaves that are ripening first. I think it is warmth that ripens, not sun.

    I have raked the soil and planted the seeds

      Jiving on down to the beach to see the blue and the gray, seems to be all and it's rosy-it's a beautiful day!

        Well, I saw a couple of orange things on my tomato plants and found myself wondering what they were.. All I have seen is green objects so far and I'd given up looking for any signs of ripening. I am thinking that I will put my toms in my conservatory next year (even though it is not facing the best direction) because they can't do any worse than they've done this year.
