Not a lot of room left in the garden,       > so looking to do a Galahad tomato in a 15-gallon container.               might be a bit small of a container for a larger variety.       so you'll need to be sure to keep it properly watered.               tomatoes are self-fertile, if they don't seem to be setting       many fruits you can ding the flowers with your finger or shake       the plant once in a while. also, if it gets too hot out you       can also drench the plant to cool it off (which may increase       disease pressure but if it is a choice between a crop and no       crop i'll take the disease too as often by the time the plant       is seriously affected the crop is mostly done anyways).                      songbird              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
