Tomatoes
I am trying to grow sweet million tomatoes this year.
I have never seen them before and do not know how to treat them. Do I take out the sideshoots or let the tomatoes bush the same as tumbler. Will they grow outside or are they better in a greenhouse |

Will they grow outside or are they better in a greenhouse I grew sweet million f1 last year, i hope your prepared for thousands of juicy sweet cherry toms :-) Make sure you have substantial stakes or canes to tie them to as they get hundreds of toms on each plant, i ended up tieing several horizontal ropes from one end of my polly tunnel to the other as the canes (and the plants themselves) couldn't cope with all the weight :-) And yes you pinch out the side shoots, and when they are a few feet high take off the bottom couple of leave stems as well. Also i sink an empty 6" plant pot next to each plant and fill each one with water everyday. I also give the flowers a fine water mist now and again to encourage fruit production. HTH regards tim |
