Planting Gardener’s Delight Tomatoes

Filed under: tomato — TopVeg @ 12:57 pm

Gardener’s Delight Tomatoes, delivered on Friday, have been planted out. Gardener’s Delight is a Cordon type suitable for the greenhouse or outdoors. It bears lots of bite-size fruit, ideal for salads and sandwiches and full of vitamins.

There was room for two more growbags in the greenhouse. But the gardening budget prompted a compromise on the growpots ,and we adapted some plastic ventilation brackets to fit in the growbag to:

    * lift the plant out of the bag and provide extra growing space for roots
    * provide a reservoir for water
    * allow feeding close to the roots

The remaining plants have been put outside against a southfacing wall.  The bricks absorb the heat and act like a night storage unit, keeping the temperature slightly up.
