Jet Star Tomatoes
Last season I put out eight different varieties of tomatoes all hybrids. Jet Star won hands down as far as production and a very nice slicing tomato that we enjoyed. This season I plan to have a few Jet Star plants again as well as other hybrids and also some heirlooms. Last year I pruned all my plants to one main stem and also used stakes which I was very happy with. I averaged about 25 nice tomatoes per plant. I fertilized with Jobes tomato spikes and also Miracle grow for tomatoes. After doing some research I found out that a large scale produce grower also here in PA plants thousands of Jet Star tomatoes every year. I did notice as the season wore on that my tomatoes did get a bit smaller compared to the earlier fruits. I blame this on too much watering. I would water every other day by laying a garden hose at the base of each plant and water for around three minutes each. I think by watering so often that I washed much of the fertilizer away. As a newbie to gardening I did make a few mistakes last season which I hope to correct this year! I'll be growing many more veggies this year instead of just tomatoes. Won't be long until I'll be starting my plants from seed indoors. April 1 for me here in our area. The weather is getting nice now and I'm really getting the urge to play in the dirt or as Bill would perhaps say: putter in the garden Rich |
