I've been growing garden tomatoes this year.

I've had some trouble with the plants but overall it's fucking amazing. There is nothing like a fresh garden tomato. I usually put salt and black pepper and garlic powder on them along with olive oil and basil. Sometimes a little smoked paprika.

whew my WAP

omg. Crunchy bread, a fresh juicy slice of tomato, some gooey mozzarella, salt, pepper, and a little drizzle of olive oil... I could eat this every day.

how long did it take for the flowers to show up on yours? I have these jar tomato plants that are definitely growing tall but no flowers yet...

[rhenna_navi]

You're growing them in a jar? I don't think that's gonna work. What I learned this year is that tomatoes need a shit ton of space, like they grow into monsters. I had massive pots so I thought they could handle two plants but no, they really need their own very large pot (if you're not growing them in the ground).

I bought plants from the store, I'd say about 3-ish weeks after planting they really started to flower, they also need full sun. It also depends, sometimes they flower really early.

[chrryblssmninja]

oop they're actually in their own wide pots I just forgot the word

thanks for the info! mine have been around for...months. both of them aren't flowering yet. I was giving them full sun outside until the fires made the air too smoky. So now they stay next to the window. They seem otherwise healthy.

[rhenna_navi]

Months? Oh dear. You might need to give them some liquid fertilizer. Tomatoes are very heavy feeders. You could try transplanting them in a deeper pot with a more nutritious potting mix, plant the stem as deep as possible (tomatoes love this) they will grow roots all around the stem underground.

Oh you're in California right now? Sorry about the smoke :( I don't think tomato plants can do very well inside, at least I've never heard of that being a thing. They are extremely sensitive plants so you probably made a good call to keep them in for now. You should also purchase some garden lime, the plants need a lot of calcium and if they dont you'll see blossom end rot on the fruit (basically ruining the fruit) especially if you're growing in pots.

[chrryblssmninja]

yeah all the instructions said were give them lots of space and fertilizer but maybe it wasn't enough. I'll see if I can get bigger pots sometime and try your tips, but probably after the fires die down since transplanting makes them vulnerable and they're already sensitive. The skies are hazy and orange during the day rn...

thanks!

[rhenna_navi]

Hmm that is strange. I hope you figure it out and have a great harvest! Also it could be possible that you're giving them too much fertilizer.

Does your local grocery store sell wine barrels? It’s usually seasonal but they pop up around March/April. I’m in Norcal too and our tomatoes are all in wine barrels. They grow great when they have a lot of space! My mom has made fresh salsa a few times this year

[chrryblssmninja]

ooh, if I wasn't stuck in half a room in my fam's apartment I would definitely do that. thanks for the tip, and I hope we can breathe well soon

Cherry tomatoes do really well in planters!
