Tomorrow I am digging a big hole for melons and Aubergines and then I will put the swing thingy, I covered with plastic, to act as their greenhouse. Judith |

Then I went into my garden and picked Oregano, Sage, Thyme, Bay, a hint of mint, chives, anise, an onion from last year, garlic. I made a sauce with red wine, my fresh herbs, dried tomato, reduced the lot down and added the balls for 1 hour. BUTTTTTTTTTT, I forgot, I didn't have any pasta, I didn't have anything in the garden to make do, so it was off to the scullery shelves for????? Stop laughing, I used cous cous. It was delicious But............ I didn't have any Parmesan either. Note to self, grow cheese, grow pasta :-) Judith |

"Ophelia" wrote in message ... Well, I have some flowers now She all begin to feed them? Feed any time after the flowers start to form AND the plants are in their final position. There are secondary and tertiary hormonal effects in the plant caused by the change in nutrients - planting in the final position (with greater root space and nutrient capacity) and at the right stage of development kind of keeps things in balance throughout the stages. Potatoes which are the same genus prefer a general feed before flowering and potash/nitrogen after. There is a great deal of debate about this aamongst commercial growers who all get very similar yields (!). But the trick is to encourage the roots and tubers rather than the small fruits - the opposite with toms. In my experience, feeding before planting out tends to delay fruit production a little by stimulating extra leaf growth when the roots are starting to struggle for space - but never enough to be material unless you are a commercial grower. Tomatoes are tough, resilient plants for all the pampering they get from us enthusiasts and the basic rule is feed with a bespoke tomato feed at planting out time after the flowers start to form. As mentioned by another poster, you can't do better than tomorite. TJ |
