harry1911 starts with ... Hi people, I have an issue with my current crop of tomato plants not producing flowers at all. I am located in Sydney and this is the first time in 20+ years of growing tomatoes where my tomato plants are producing no flowers at all. The plants are currently 50-60cm tall with a heap of very healthy foilage. I do not know if I am not getting flowers due to the inconsistent weather or if there is something in the air or if there is something missing from my soil. The plants were put into the ground approx 6 weeks ago. I also planted my cucumbers and peppers in at the same time and they are starting to profuce fruit- they are not in the same garden bed as my tomatoes Is anyone else having issues with there tomatoes or know what the issue could be? | About the Author harry1911 Canterbury 10th October 2014 1:34pm #UserID: 10614 Posts: 3 View All harry1911's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... What variety of tomato ? Some bush types can fruit in 60 - 70 days from sowing, some vining types 120 days, most in between. Check if the var. is early or late type, 6 weeks is 42 days, so could be a couple of weeks yet ?? O'wise you seem to know how to grow vegetables, if they look super healthy, maybe too much TLC + fertilizer causing green growth, not enough stress to induce flowering ?? | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 10th October 2014 3:36pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
harry1911 says... They are all Gourmet tomato varietys. I have been planting the same variety for 20+ years with the same procedures, fertilizers, etc. Though this is the first time where the plants have grown so big with no flowers. For the first time i will also be planting a few different varietys which is a first for me. Mortgage Lifter, Brandywine, Pineapple Tomato, Rams Horn, Mary Italian and Tigerella. Has anyone tried these varietys and if so what are your experiences with quality, crop quantities, plant requirements? | About the Author harry1911 Canterbury 10th October 2014 4:19pm #UserID: 10614 Posts: 3 View All harry1911's Edible Fruit Trees |
