My babies! (Again!?) Squirrel attack! https://www.allforgardening.com/1257457/my-babies-again-squirrel-attack/ #tomatoes

Things are going quite well The plants seem to be quite happy in the small indoor greenhouse. The tomatoes are seeking to catch even more light and are growing fast

That's me done for the day: planted out 140 onion sets Sturon at the allotment, pleased as the bags say 50 each an extra 40! I should have around a hundred more raised from seed to go out in a few weeks. We like onions A bit more weeding before lunch then pricking out all these tomatoes. Phew, tea and a book time!

All saved tomato seeds from last year have sprouted up and the tomatillo seeds I gathered from the ground in the garden a month ago are up too. Heat mat turned off. They were started on April 1.

I’m new to starting tomatoes from seed - first year purposefully doing so, or at least in a very long time. Fellow gardeners, do you have a rough estimate from initial leaves to first true leaves? My seeds all popped up within a few days, but have since (almost three weeks) kind of stalled and I’m wondering what others’ experience is. I read 2-3 weeks is typical.

April 2, 2025. It was planting day for the tomatoes. We held ourselves to twenty starts. These tomatoes aspire to be tasty. The soil blocks worked well. The outside world transitioned from snow covered to clear again today as last nights snow gradually melted. #gardening, #growyourown, #minnesota, #Zone4b, #tomatoes, #kasundi.

So, gardeners, is there any good use for eggshells now that it's established that they don't prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes and don't deter slugs in lettuce plantings? Am wondering whether they would work as an inert for repotting orchids, or perhaps as a decorative addition to my miniature rock garden. Thanks for suggestions. #eggs #eggshells #calcium #tomatoes #slugs #garden #gardening #allotment

Catsup or Ketchup?

The convoluted pedigree of America's favorite condiment from its origins in China/Singapore, & its transformation as it traversed the globe across centuries to England, America and thence to other countries...

Hopefully it's not too late to start this year

Two weeks after sawing most the seedlings develop nicely. The ox-heart seeds apparently were too old. I'll try again with more seeds. If it works I'll try to get new seeds this year.

Here begins the pinned thread for the 2024-25 tomato growing season!

I sowed seeds today, which is early but worked well last year. I’ll keep them on this sunny windowsill & plant outdoors in October. It’s marginal for growing outdoors here but I’ve had good crops in recent years.

I’m growing Sweet 100 again, plus Sub Arctic Plenty, the best of the other varieties I grew last year.

I do not know the meaning of the phrase "too many tomatoes".

This post got deleted by the mods from the Reddit redneck engineering page.. maybe it wasn't redneck enough I don't know... I got sunburned so

So much work! After 2 and 1/2 years I finally got around to editing this video, over 445 GB of raw footage.

This was shot during the summer of 2020 when I was staying at my friend's house on their small farm, we had over 85 tomato plants and due to the drip irrigation that I set up, they had grown so large that they were about to fall over with their cages, likely destroying the plants.

So, I decided to build a suspension bridge.

I had never built a suspension bridge before, I knew the basic physics behind how they worked and I figured I had enough raw materials so over the course of a few days I cut, doug, screwed, unscrewed, tore down what I had built, rebuilt it better, and eventually had what I'm calling the 'Incredible tomato suspension bridge'

I'm very proud of how it turned out, I didn't have a post hole digger so I ended up using a Shop-Vac and a small garden shovel, which was surprisingly super effective and produced an exceptional result!

Anyway, let me know what you think.. the video is a bit long I know I'm sorry, I cut out a lot and sped up most of the video 10x

Some spots I wanted to go faster than 10x but DaVinci Resolve kept glitching out so I trimmed out a few sections.
