Plant Care
Further to my ealier blog "How To Grow Tomato Plants" Depending on the type of Tomato Plant you choose to grow you will find their growing behaviour slightly different, with varying rates of growth, height and foliage density. After two or three weeks of planting, with all types of Tomato it's continually necessary to lookout for extra shoots growing out from between the main stem and existing side shoots or branches these new shoots need to be picked out as soon as is practical as they will distort the growth of the plant and dissipate energy into growing more foliage instead of fruit.
It's also advisable to give the plants regular feeds of "Tomerite" or some other liquid manure.
I have used "Horse manure tea" with success. More about this sort of feed in a future blog. Possible problems which vary from year to year are infestations of aphids of the white and more commonly "here at least" the green variety. These can be got rid of with an application of "Nettle tea" or a preparatory chemical anti aphid preparation. Depending how organic you want your crop to be grown you can choose the easy expensive route in buying chemical answers to gardening problem or take the organic route of solving problems with materials from within your own environment.
