Last year I had 4 Tomato Tumbling Tom's that we bought as plants from the garden centre, growing out of the top of an old strawberry planter and got a quite decent crop keeping in mind I just left them to do their own thing.
Well last year following a Tomato seed saving guide that I found on the Internet I saved the seeds from my Tumbling Tom's and to my surprise they all germinated.
The plan this year is to plant them into a hanging basket that we have and look after them this time with a proper tomato feed and hope for a bumper crop.
My Tumblers did brilliantly last year as well - just left them to their own devices in hanging baskets and remembered to water them from time to time. I got a bumper crop and will be doing the same again this year too. I also planted nasturtiums in with them and they grew like triffids too. They weren't in any special compost so I can only conclude that they aren't fussy. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteI plan on growing some tumbling toms this year and had intended to plant them in hanging baskets but having read your post I will try some in my strawberry planters too. Let's hope I have good results! Will keep you informed of my progress.
