You have a good question and one problem that I also share. If there is too much nitrogen or it is too hot tomatoes flowers will not set fruit. That does not explain why some plants are very productive and the one next to them produce zip. P…
I am growing my tomatoes in my greenhouse this year & they are monsters! I actually planted them a little too close together, so have been pruning the leaves so that they don't sit on each other too much. I usually cut half the leaf back, not the wh…
Out here on the west slope of Sierras,....it gets hot, hot..I have found that the leaves shade the fruit (otherwise the tomatoes blister)...I am growing Brandywines and cherry tomatoes...some of the bushes have no tomatoes (lots of flowering going o…
It sounds reasonable -- it's true of growing wine grapes -- the canopy (or leaves) take most of the nutrients and block the sun...you will have sweeter grapes by removing a great deal of the leaves -- I would think it would work much the same with t…
I do this every year, seems to work great! I started out just doing it in order to make my cages work better an be able to get to the tomatoes easier. I don't usually take all the leaves, I leave a few on every vine. Sometimes though, it seems like…
It does sound bizarre, maybe try just one like that this year and see how it goes. Keep us posted though in case it's the next great tomato break through. Good luck!
So here's an idea, try it with a couple of your plants, and grow the rest the same way. I tried one of those Topsy tervy planters, You know they grow the plants upside down. I think I may have got one or two fruits off it, but nothing like it said I…
I have not heard of taking off quite THAT many leaves but yes if you do remove some leaves you will end up with more tomatoes. Ok picture the main central stalk of the tomato plant and off of the main stalk there is a leaf. When another leaf starts…
I think a glue made from flour and water might be better, I just worry about additives in commercial products..you make the flour glue as you did your cornstarch mix.. you can brush it on the strips like a glue..its very good.
This would be a good time of year for people to exchange seeds-well before it is time to plant in the spring. I have seeds to share and seeds I want. How do people want to go about sending seeds. email off forum? use SASE's for exchanging? other ide…
This is working-I've got carrots and spinach actually growing in straight lines properly spaced. This weekend I made a bunch of tapes for turnip greens and planted some on Saturday. The carrot tapes that I made with a drop of white glue seem to take…
My Tiny Tim tomato only gets morning sun and is absolutely loaded with greenies and blooms. I'll try pruning back its lush vegetation and report back.
Thank you very much for the video. I will try this on some plants next year. I am concerned that here in Texas we have so much hot sun that my tomatoes could get sun scald.
Some of the seeds are coming up that I planted with my seed tapes. The spacing looks good for the radishes and beets. I have discovered that the cornstarch doesn't hold larger, round seeds very well, so I will give Elmer's glue a try. It is supposed…
