Money maker are just getting bigger and bigger , no signs of ripening , I’ve got best tomatoes I’ve ever grown this year ( did same seeds last year) … just bloody green still This year, Sungold, Roma, Alicante & Rio Grande The sungold have grown like mad, over 6ft now, so the question is, take the top off, or train them along the top wire...

Arry 24,615 Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 Runners starting to go mad now. Don't know you can see through the grubby glass. This is the Tomato plant that the slug wiped out and I let 2 shoots go up in a V there is way over 100 tomatoes on the 2 stems. The other end of the green house the trusses started to snap so tied them up. Cheers Arry 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or have I fecked up lol That should be fine. I have some spoon measures I use. Take of any leaves off that are bad and try and create as much air circulation as possible. Don't think you will hurt them by spraying again. Cheers Arry Edited July 5 by Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
