Tomatoes - Page 12

tbaleno · 12-14-2010, 08:39 PM

The tomato plant I'm growing in hydro-culture has a tomato the size of a pea. This tomato plant produces full sized tomatoes. I'll take a picture later tonight.

The plant was started August 23, 2009 so it is over a year old. I guess it shows how bad a gardener I am if it takes me over a year to get a tomato plant to produce fruit.

Last seasons cherry tomato still going strong

Jananas Bananas · 03-19-2011, 05:40 PM

Getting a good early start this year!

The Hollyberry Lady · 03-19-2011, 05:46 PM

Why you!!!

What kind are they?

: )

Jananas Bananas · 03-19-2011, 05:55 PM

I bought the plants a few weeks ago, I think when Lowe's or Home Depot first put them out. I thought it was "Patio" but I can't rely on my memory and will check for you when I go outside to feed. I bought three or four different starts, though the ones I started in the AeroGarden are as big now as the starts I bought from them. I know I bought two "Celebrity" because they said they were early. ~J

Richard · 03-19-2011, 09:07 PM

Celebrity works early because it is vigorous. It's one of the best choices of a red tomato spring through summer.

nannerfunboi · 03-19-2011, 09:31 PM

my tomato seedlings are going great!!

i'll need to transplant them to 4" pots in couple weeks..
im growing mostly heirlooms.. mostly mid sized..the big ones
dont ripen here till sept.. to long for me to wait ..LOL
im so jealous of you all down in texas..and southern states..
i lived in houston for 3 yrs while ago.. 1st time in the south..
i couldnt get over when to plant down there..
it seemed like they grew 6" over nite.. guess those warm nites
humidity helped alot..

The Hollyberry Lady · 03-19-2011, 10:11 PM

Celebrity is a cool variety, JaNan.

My mom & I grew them one year in 5 gallon containers. They produce an abundant yield. I have seeds.

: )

Dean W. · 03-19-2011, 10:21 PM

Yeah, I've heard of Celebrity recommended a number of times.

I tried growing monster tomatoes in the past and had no luck with them. I forget what the name was and forgive me for changing the subject.

The Hollyberry Lady · 03-19-2011, 10:25 PM

The subject is tomatoes, so no worries Dean. Wonder why you didn't do well with the mammoth type. That sucks.

I'm going to sow a couple "table" tomato seeds tonight...the plants get 8" tall and are covered in cherry tomatoes.

: )

Dean W. · 03-19-2011, 10:30 PM

I guess it was to hot of weather for it.
I think it's this one.

I got some Beefsteak tomatoes. I was wondering how big of a pot should I use to grow them in? I'm using garden space for peppers and maybe some okra, so I'm limited on what I can plant in the ground.

20-25 gallon pot per plant.

The Hollyberry Lady · 03-25-2011, 05:34 PM

Dean, here's that little Micro-Tom seedling in my aero-garden tonight...

I can likely send you 4 or 5 seeds but more later when the fruits develop. This plant grows really fast, like most tomato plants, but because it only ever reaches 6" tall, it sets fruit super quickly.

You'll see soon...

The problem is when I get seedlings, my friends beg them out of me! My one girlfriend is nuts over little mini tomato plants so I give a lot of them to her and her cousin. She won't be getting this one out of me though, nor my next "Table" seedlings either.

: )

Jananas Bananas · 03-25-2011, 06:32 PM

These are Husky Red tomatoes:

I have four of the "Celebrity" - they aren't very tall and one already has little blossoms on it. You guys think that it seems to be a good choice.

Have one patio that is a volunteer, and lots of cherrys and several Beefsteak that I started from seed.

The Hollyberry Lady · 03-25-2011, 06:35 PM

Oh just quit showing off, will ya!

jeffreyp · 03-26-2011, 01:42 PM

if you have problems growing veggies, my suggestion is use an earth box or build a global bucket...the results are fantastic.

Worm_Farmer · 03-27-2011, 07:19 AM

Has anyone ever tried the Tomatoe Tree? I just ordered some from TV, I seen how good they did at Disney.

The Hollyberry Lady · 03-27-2011, 08:16 AM

I have seeds for that "tomato tree" but I haven't sowed them yet. Let us know how they do
for you, Mike.
