How are your tomatoes doing?

Mine are different. Some tomatoes have recently emerged, others in buckets awaiting transfer to the greenhouse. Heated.

She sowed gradually, in future beds. After all, each variety will represent only one plant, one should not get confused.

Now it feels like a kindergarten. Only not with Misha and Masha, but with Plan 9 of open space, Alsou, Cerricollo, Blash, etc.

This is what the older age group of three graduates looks like:

Tomatoes in buckets: two Yamal (standard) and Labrador (undersized), bushes for 47 days today

They lacked nutrients in liter packs. They twisted the tops (the tips of the upper leaves), stopped developing. And now, literally 5 days ago, I loaded them into buckets.

Vermicompost added (30%) and Diatomite to the soil. Yummy! They appreciated, on the third day they straightened the leaves.

Come to their senses. Stand on the floor for better rooting. I turn off the light only for the night (an ordinary chandelier).

About mycorrhiza

And these are the twins of the standard Muscovites. On the left without mycorrhiza, on the right with “Nurse mycorrhiza” (BashInk).

Obviously, mycorrhiza is doing something of its own. Tomatic with the drug lags behind in development, and experiences a slight phosphorus starvation (a little burgundy on the lower leaves). Let's see if there will be more harvest. Or tastier. Oh, I doubt it!

Tall pioneers

They are followed by tall first-borns (sowed first):

Indeterminate tomatoes. Seedlings were on March 10 - 13, bushes were less than a month old

Got them out to fertilize, they are starving! Transfer to nutrient soil was not enough. It is nitrogen that they lack. Why did I come to this conclusion? Two factors coincided:

  • The upper leaves brighten from the center of the leaf - slight chlorosis
Nitrogen chlorosis in tomatoes, crown
  • And the tips at the crown are bent down

Well-fed tomatoes have evenly colored leaves.

And these are the contenders for today's transshipment:

About the same age as previous tall tomatoes

But uneven ages with a potato (simple) leaf:

Tomato Summer sun on the left, Black-blue ridge on the right

Finally, the senior nursery group, and there are tomatoes, and younger ones:

These are tomatoes for open ground, shoots on March 28 - 29, they are 9 - 10 days old

And how are your tomatoes doing?
