Growing Tomatoes in Containers or Raised Beds

Image
Tomatoes are the most popular crop grown by home gardeners worldwide, and perhaps, the most difficult plant to achieve consistent results year over year.Tomatoes require a porous soil mixture that permits good drainage, allows good root growth and adequate oxygen in the root zone. Balanced nutrition consisting of: Major Nutrients: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) Secondary Nutrients: Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), and Sulfur (S) Micro nutrients or Trace Elements: Boron (B), Chlorine (CI), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Molybdenum (Mo), and Zinc (Zn) The proper soil PH to enable our plants to extract the nutrients we have provided to the soil, according to experts, is around 6.0 to 6.8. With neutral PH at 7.0, then tomatoes prefer to grow in slightly acidic soil. Often times, we achieve an excellent soil mix by adding all of our primary, secondary and micro nutrients. We care for our plants daily; yet still have spindly plants, watery fruits, and even experi

Selecting Tomato Varieties

Image
  Tomatoes originated in the South American Andes cultivated as early as 700 AD. They have become one of the central ingredients in many diets on all continents. It is now the most popular plant grown in home and commercial gardens across the world.   There are two basic types of Tomatoes with literally hundreds of hybrids and heirloom varieties.     - Determinate varieties grow as a small bush and set all of their fruit early in the year.     - Indeterminate varieties grow as a vine. They bloom and set fruit as they grow.   Growers living in hot summer temperatures should plan for the fact that indeterminate varieties will stop setting fruit when night temperatures reach approximately 85 degrees f. In warmer climates growers can plan for setting a fall crop by propagating cuttings from from the mature vines in late summer. Then plan for a new vigorous crop of tomatoes in the fall.   Unfortunately fungus, bacteria and virus love tomatoes as much as we do so care must be shown in s
