Anyone Had Trouble Growing Tomatoes This Year?
Ask a Question
I managed to grow lots of tomatoes but only about 2 or 3 ripened unfortunately. Did you manage to grow them and for them to ripen?
Oh no sorry to here your tomato woes,you cud always make a green chutney instead, No problems with tomato myself had loads already and I still have 3plants going in the greenhouse, but I have issues with germination on courgettes, marrows and cucumber, just couldn't get em going this year, but the weather's been allover the place, my poor apples trees are bloosoming again already because it's been mild
I must admit whenever I grow tomatoes they don't seem to ripen until well into September. My neighbour did well this year and kept me supplied.
I usually try to start them really early indoors and then put in conservatory and then outside when all frost is gone.
There are lots of recipes for chutney if you have loads of unripened toms.
Not tomato's but I do grow my own spuds and this year they were really small compared to previous years
Always a disaster on my allotment cos they start well and then blight hits so I grew them on my balcony these year and I have shed loads.
I did but only in September, we had lots of green fruit all summer but nothing ripened till the very end when we ended up with loads. My aunt had a similar problem were in the south west so fairly warm.
My friend started her's really early this year in her conservatory and they were amazing, i did several outside and they really didn't come to much.
My mum grows tomatoes every year and sometimes she gets loads and other times she doesn't get that many. You can still use green tomatoes.
