Last week after a very strong winds tore threw the city it played havoc with my Tomatoes, although they have survived they are all now lying flat in a blanket mesh across the balcony.
One part of me wants to hack it down to small bushes but the other part says just leave it till its finished with all the fruit, as it is producing lots of cherry tomatoes.
One of the reasons I grew cherry Toms was because of the smaller size they grow, but even at about a meter high, they still got beaten by the winds, something that is hard to avoid when your so high up!
anyway heres some pics and video on the journey so far.
Freshly planted

Looking good
After the wind
Lots of Tomatoes and Basil
What a shame with your nice tomatoes. I saw a nifty system of staking container tomatoes recently with 3 or 4 stakes in a pot, then with string tied round the stakes creating circular support at intervals of about 10" up the stake length. Perhaps you've seen it, too.
ReplyDeleteBut great blog! Thank you! I love your idea of the hanging bottle garden, where bottles are suspended one over the other. I am looking for the directions to this project? I'm in Tampa, FL, and think I could grow some lettuces on my screened patio this way (in my garden, I find the bugs usually eat more than I do).
Love so many of your ideas! Go Ron Paul 2012!
