Another tomato win




My win at Sturton (in fact I was 1st and 2nd) with Cederico was my 6th win out of 7 shows this season, and I reckon I should have won the only show I didn't but hey-ho! I've had some lovely looking tommies this season justifying my feeding regime of alternate feeds of Tomorite, nettle 'soup' and comfrey 'soup'. I also thin my fruits out in the early stages when about pea-size, removing every other one which gives the remaining fruits more room to grow. I don't seem to get the flat sides so much these days where neighbouring fruits squash against each other.
I also managed to get 1st and 2nd in the class for a truss of tomatoes. I could have staged another set of 5 from the fruits on these two trusses.
