Balcony toms

[Dorothy rouse]

I seem to have 29 plants, no idea how that came about, I just did what you all told me, let's hope I get some toms, there is lots of greenery.

They look great.

As to your question, they are all in containers so the compost will be depleted after 4 to 6 weeks. I feed mine with high nitrogen until the toms show and then change to high potash.

Hi dorothy

What varieties are they?

[Dorothy rouse]

Gardeners Delight, Red Pear, Minibel (cherry) and Tumbling Toms.

[More basil]

My tumblers got renamed 'the sofa' last year due to their somewhat expansive greenery. I thought they might have used all their energy on leaves but I had loads of toms.
There is btw a an urban myth that the best toms are found in the London river estuaries due to the, cough, plentiful fertilisers and seeds being, ahem, passed on from many tomato eating Londoners...

^^^^^^^^^^^^ Don't now about now but in my younger days I can remember the workers from Stoke Bardolph a sewage works coming into the pub and selling bags of lovely big toms collected from the settlement beds.

I do believe you chaps are having a bit of a 'dig' at Kent? Kent is the 'garden' of England by the way.
