Congratulations and bon appetit !
Is it a heated green house ? and what variety of tomato?
I've got 3 Shirley and 3 Brandywine in my unheated house
which are showing flower (some may have set) but it will
still take a few weeks before picking.
Organic border,fish,blood,& bone for starters,
seaweed extract feed thereafter..

Yes, to the unheated bit but this being a nursery, it's big, so it gets lots
of light and whatever sun there is. And the plants are fed regularly
because there is feed in the watering system for all plants, via the
diluter. We're growing Jersey Sunrise, a heritage variety with a wonderful
flavour and the original Jersey tom.




Sacha, where did you get the Jersey Sunrise seeds? I have found them on the
HDRA adopt-a-veg scheme. Is that the only place to get them, do you know? I
usually grow Gardeners' Delight, but flavour is everything to us with
tomatoes, and I am always looking out for a new variety!
