Hey everyone, l really hope you’re all well.
l just wanted to share a photo of a plant which was part of an f1 selection of the Blackdog x Golden Tiger which was, what l called a Malowie leaner and still in it’s original two litre pot. This plant was one of two that passed my rigorous selection process but her sister was the keeper due to its explosive branching habit. I left this one outside to see what happened and low and behold she’s almost survived the winter, something I’ve only seen once or twice before but never in a million years expected this at this spot.
Winter has been wet but not cold and spring has turned up early with endemic species of trees flowering early and deciduous European trees budding and putting out leaves six to eight weeks early. Some bird species have also nested very early but this does happen occasionally when seasons are optimal.
l believe she’s got a bit of botrytis but all in all with four or five daylight hours, when the sun’s out, she’s done amazingly well and if she can make it through the winter, it’ll be the toughest plant I’ve ever grown and a plant that l can’t leave out of the breeding program due to sheer tenacity.
Cheers,
40.

Hey Star,
don’t want to teach you to suck eggs but a little tricky trick l use for early fruit is to start your toms early and get them so completely root bound by the time they’re ready to go out in late spring, you’ll force flower, in the pot and get an early harvest without any detriment to vigour; plant them deep.

Usually my tomatoes are overwatered and then they get blossom end rot……..This year they’re looking good

I’ve always wondered if the blossom end rot created by overwatering is a still a symptom of calcium deficiency, as calcium is highly transient within the soil horizons.
One for the philosophers.

Since over watering makes weak, unhealthy and often a diseased root system there is a reduction of all nutrient uptake. Calcium just happens to be one.
My opinion anyways.
The killer with tomatoes is if you keep them well watered and healthy and then let them dry out once. Blossom end rot again. It seems steady calcium uptake is crucial to tomatoes.

Yeah Great Outdoors,
it seems calcium and silica should be right up there with the ol’ NPK. I remember Tom Hill saying he’d take calcium over magnesium any day, in his soils; he did foliar spray with cal/mag once a month and brix mix every fortnight.
In actual fact I’ve just heavily top dressed gypsum, meseca flour, wood ash out of the fire and blood and bone meal for four different sources of calcium.

Any "Aliens" fans here ?

I thought this looks a little like the Plant version of a Chest bursting.

I think it was a Weasel, helping themselves to the roots and the wet dirt around them.

I live near a creek, which is one of the few water sources in a patch of forest about 70 miles square.

And now the creek is 100% dry, except for a small area that I'm filling up with well water.

The plant is a Cookie Cross, and while the animals are feasting on it, it is sending up branches for buds !

Hey star
Tomato is the specialty of my house. This year there are 17 varieties in the garden, some have been with me for more years than my wife ...
If you want seeds...

Lo último es un melón africano o kiwano, cerca de madurar
