Tomato: Gardeners Delight » Week Eight
Well I think I picked a good week to go away on my summer holidays, whilst my family and I have been sunning ourselves on Lake Garda in Italy my tomato plants have been exposed to some real heavy rain fall. Apparently in 2 days there was 80% of the entire months average rain fall. The good news is though having added the extra string to support the plants last week, the grotty weather does not appear to have affected my plants at all.
In fact the heavy rain seems to have helped bring the plants on, there are now 3 trusses of flowers on each plant and the signs are encouraging for yet more to starting setting over the next couple of weeks.
The weird thing I have noticed is that the plant on the left appears to be significantly smaller than the other two plants. Up until now the plants have all been of equal size.
