Got me seeds today
In article , Sacha writes: | | Here's what Ray is dictating to me about tomato growing: Most interesting. I may start my seeds a little earlier this year. | We would try to maintain a 60F temp. regime though it probably went to 55F | at night until much more modern heating was introduced. On some nurseries, | they would expect to see the first red tomatoes by the end of March. So warm but not modern house temperatures. | If you're going to use e.g. Levington's compost with a high nitrogen | content, the plants will be less controllable in terms of growth than they | would be in a John Innes compost. Once you water Levingtons, it's wet and | stays wet for some time so the plants grow fast. If you're growing in the | present amateur way, which is similar to the old fashioned commercial way, | you're probably better off using John Innes." Ah. So growth was controlled in other ways than temperature as well. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
