Due to my
leg injury tomatoes in 2019 were a complete disaster and I ended up losing
nearly all my seedlings. I’m determined to get back on track for 2020 and to
utilise both greenhouses on the allotment as well as grow some out on the plot
and the 22 Flower Buckets in the back garden
So what to
grow in 2020?
On the
Plot out in the open - Crimson Crush & Rapunzel
Growing
tomatoes out in the allotment is risky in terms of early blight but I managed
it in 2018 with one Crimson Crush & Rapunzel that provided me with more tomatoes
than the 22 plants at home in the garden did.
So I need
to decide just how many plants to grow in 2020?
I have two narrow 600mm wide x 2.4, beds in and they would be ideal for 3 plants per bed spaced at 400 – 800 – 800 – 400 and I can make some planting membrane up to keep the weeds at bay.
In the two
Greenhouses on the plot Mini & Micro Tomatoes look to have at least one of
each of the 9 varieties in each greenhouse. Sow 4 of each with the hope of 2
healthy specimens germinating.
Also going
to try Gigantomo F1 in at least one greenhouse
I
have some Virtual Seed Parcel Seeds over from last year and will once again try
and grow and save seeds from these varieties and contribute back to the seed
circle. There are 11 varieties which means one row in the back garden.
Alaskan Fancy 6 seed
Black + Brown Boar 8 Seeds
Egyptian

Indigo Blue Beauty 10 Seeds
Kenilworth / King George 4 Seeds
Latah Red
