my tomatoes are all outdoors, 3 varieties and 3 of each. They are doing very well but they have put on so much growth in the past few weeks, I haven`t been able to keep up with side shooting. I decided to stop all of them today, the determinates (bush) tomtoes have too many sprays and I have taken the latest ones off. The indeterminates, I usually let 4 sprays mature and today I have cut off all the newest buds and flowers. 4 sprays on an indeterminate is plenty considering it is already august. The fruits need time to grow and mature
Last week I picked the biggest tomatoes from low down, the ones that have a slight yellow tinge, I brought them indoors and wrapped each one up, all now in a wicker basket, starting to turn red. Taking them off allows the plant to concentrate on the new fruits that would more likely be green at the end of the season
I am feeling my way wrt watering, twice a day at the moment and tomato feed every few days
Marketmore cucs are not performing well here either, only eaten 3 small ones so far
