Just my toms! (Scottish windowsill)
I love seeing everyone's tomato pics, I don't have much to share yet this year, but have got to have something tomato-related to do while waiting for them to ripen!
Attached are pictures of my precious windowsill tomatoes. I always grow my favourite Tiny Tim and have two healthy heavily fruiting plants in relatively small pots (4L maybe?). I also have two Tiny Tim plants outdoors...but those are much smaller and while they have fruit...don't look quite so photogenic. Next up is a potato leaf type variegated variety I bought from a Hungarian grower on eBay as "variegata"of which I'm growing two at home, followed by a Sweet'n'Neat Yellow F1 which is doing stupidly well in a teeny 1L pot (very sturdy, compact growth despite little light). I also have a few reserve plants I might put outdoors after the storm we're meant to have tomorrow, give to friends or pot-up indoors if anything happens to my main plants - I'll deffo be germinating more tomato seeds this year anyway, I can't help myself . Finally is the standard regular leaf variegated tomato, properly known as variegata, which apparently originated in Ireland, but I bought seeds from a different again Hungarian grower on eBay. It's more commonly (seemingly incorrectly) known as Splash of Cream, so I'm calling it that for now to avoid confusion with the potato leaf variegata...also because Splash of Cream sounds lovely! Feeding a mix of organic and salt fertilisers, I even play these plants music/thunder/rain sounds often when I'm watering (my housemate thinks I'm mad lol...she's maybe not too wrong). We are just past Midsummer, and some of the plants (especially the variegated ones) are struggling for light a bit, so I plan on replacing the 36W CFL room light I moved over them with a 105W daylight bulb. It won't be much extra light, but can only help. More pictures to follow later in the season, thanks for looking . |
