What are the political implications of me growing brandywine tomatoes for the upcoming 2nd great depression, you are growing your own food right?
>>532513487unless you're cooking on copper, any acidic foods are leaching nickel into youevery utensil in your kitchen leaches poisons
Heirloom. Favored by Amish. Based choice. Make sure to keep other varieties away and do seed saving.
>>532513487I know tomatoes and those are looking pretty good.
>>532513487You can trade them for some of my apples or raspberries
>>532513487Gardening is good for your soul and also fills your belly, studies prove gardeners are the happiest people.
>>532513487why not jackfruit? these are better in every way.
>>532513766and tamarillos. These are trees that grow 88 pounds of tree tomatoes a year
>>532513487lolsuch a positive thread for once
i want to grow carolina reapers
>>532513828I had the most amazing habanero bush, that plant just exploded and didn't stop. I saves it's seeds because it was so vigorous
>>532513487"Grow your own tomatoes! It's the perfect way to waste 3 months to save $7"
>>532513487We do not grow our own food, only certain smaller group do that; they control some historical narrative.
>>532514022>nuuu goy>you have to buy roundup ready™ tomatoe seeds or it's not LEGITshut up kike I'm sick of groping your mother's massive udders fort a measly 20 shekels every Saturday
There some types that own the land, but they do not let people like US own any land; they simply enslave people with debt and private property; we do not get that land.
>>532513554Saar...
>>532514022My parents prob saved thousands just from the tomatoes they grew and used for sauce lmao
>>532514175>>532514103Tell yer mom Anon's done doing her dirty work
>>532513487you'd do better growin potatos, beans and other stuff that you can actually survive on for long periods of time that would also provide decent nutritionyou don't want to grow something that will spoil after just few week
>>532514385Honestly, you want to demoralize people; your policy parasitic.
>>532514385I do not play your game, you ruined everything.
>>532513554
>>532513715Lol tell me you dont garden without telling me etc
>>532514022If I could get a quality tomato at a grocery store you might have a point, but you can only get them if you grow them yourself.
>>532514924Show me your tomato vine/bush/plant.
>>532514906>tell me without telling me
>>532514994They are just seedlings rn it's April, can't plant outside here until end of May. They are little cutiea though and I may have started them too early.
>>532515096Show me the bush/plant/vineTomato's are hardly worth growing unless you have rows and rows. Three plants in a grow bag doesn't produce enough tomato's one grown man to eat daily.
>>532515019This, god, what an insufferable trope.
>>532515321Well its easier than writing a whole paragraph on why you are wrong. But he doesn't have an established bush, which is what I was thinking. Tomato's are easy to grow but getting to be of any size is different.
>>532515252Not from my experience, three plants produce more tomatoes than I can eat and end up giving most of them away to elderly people at the bar. Same with cucumbers.
>>532515441Yea, of course you were.
>>532514321>Spent thousands on sauce Anon...
>>532515475Why are you so hostile lmao
>>532513487The best tomato is Cherokee Purple, but they don't do well in my hot arid climate. The one tomato that just shits out fruit like crazy is Early Girl and they are tasty too, just not as meaty. I like those meaty tomatoes. Beefsteak have worked pretty well they don't get as stressed by the oppressive summer heat like other heirlooms. I really want cherokee purples though.
comfy thread
>>532515528Because so many people talk shit and im fed up with being a yes man who agrees with everything people say even when I reckon they're lying. Why are you so full of shor?
>>532513682Wrong. Those look actually bad because they are too meaty
>>532515528Please be nice. The British are going through a lot right now.
>>532517440I like a juicy tomato n all, with loads salt in it lile me grandma taught me
I grew my own cherry tomatoes and they tasted the same as grocery store tomatoes, rather bland.I saw a thread on reddit where they germinated a 100 year old seed, and the tomato was big, purpleish and NOT UNIFORM.So now I believe that modern uniform perfect looking tomatoes are just GMO trash including those you grow.
>>532517464>the BritishGet off the island, foreigner.
>>532515900Tomato is supposed to look like this inside lol
>>532517533Bet there are some awesome seeds in that seed storage vault. If u worked there'd have stolen a seed and sowed it so they didnt need to be kept in storage and then give the seeds off the plant away
>>532517533All my niggas know that heirloom are god's tomatoes.
>>532517499Me too. But those American tomatoes don't look juicy eww
>>532517573I mean there is nothing wrong with those, I just like a sweet meaty mater.
>>532513487I'm growing bullets.
>>532513682You know jackshit about tomatoes glownigger trash
>>532517573Tomato's are so cool. The way the "inner tree" looks like its fruiting seeds.>>532517627Yea they're too much lile you said. I like a beef tomato butnid have to say cherry toms are my favourite of all time.
>>532517627Oh they are, they are fucking delicious. I wish I could send you one to persuade you.
>>532514906Lol you're growing the wrong plants or are incapable of caring for them
>>532513554I, too, like to lie with every breath like a kike.
Im going to start baking my own potato chips
>>532514022You'll understand when you taste both side by side. We're fed empty dogshit
>>532513487I've been thinking of growing beans. Dried beans store for a long time I think
>>532517703I wish Americans were courageous and killed every Monsanto employee, every cunt participating in geo engineering operations so we could eat good vegetables and fruits again but I think it's too late anyways.
>>53251348714 years ago I was hoping we'd have gmo spliced all fruits and vegetables to grow as fast as Kudzu by now so everyone could just have their own garden and free food. Instead we got more desert wars and more money to kikes and take care of niggers.
>>532517773What kind of beans? I do dollar store pole beans and they grow like weeds for me.
>>532513487No, we are poor, stupid city creatures who will soon die of starvation... not sarcasm...But before that, we'll visit your tomato beds...
>>532517614Roma tomatoes are the undisputed GOAT for sauces, but for eating tomatoes I think Brandywine or Cherokee Purple are the most flavorful meaty tomatoes that don't have a lot of seeds and slime. Beefsteak are also really good. There are so many good veggies you can grow that are so much better than you can get at the store. Broccoli is another one.
>>532517627Its barely water. Hydroponics slop
>blocks your pathI hate this fucking faggot so much, you can't fucking kill it.
>>532518212It's shit. Your modified seeds are complete trashs and killed farming, forced farmers to poison their soil, rebuy seeds every single time.Meanwhile wirh non modified seeds you grab your most beautyful tomatoes, you collect the seeds and every generation you get better plants with a unlimited amount of seeds.
>>532517706No they were definitely tomatoes. And its not hard, being incapable isn't really a thing, you water them a few times a week and feed them as directed.
>>532518313Like I live in a fucking desert how does this faggot just start growing in my garden? Walk ten feet out of town and it's fucking sage brush for as far as the eye can see.
>>532518385These are heirloom tomatoes from the 1920's frenchie.
>>532518440And then the roots rot out of nowhere.. or aphids, powdery mildew or simply lack of nutrients. I've seen people mess up in very interesting ways.
>>532514462Jews don't want you to know this but you can feed a family of five on a half acre of potatoes, a quarter acre of bush beans, and a quarter acre of vegetable garden.
>>532518493It doesn't matter. I grow roma tomatoes since a while they are modified seeds, there is a symbol indicating it on the seed package.Non modified seeds are way more expensive but you buy them only once.
>>532518596that's a climate issue, mine flourish because it's hot an arid, you just have to give them plenty of water and there are plenty of spiders to eat the bugs, once in awhile a mantis will take up residence and completely eradicate all pests.
>>532513487you are basedcuck
:)
>>532518903Thank you based aphid annihilator
>>532518596One one plant inlet the vines go wherever and it started to grow roots into the ground. Very cool to see.
>>532513902Be careful my based viking Chad. These peppers kill the European.
>>532518742I just buy a can of Centa tomatoes and dry those out and plant them. You live next door to Italy so it shouldn't be hard to get seeds.
>>532518992One of the plants I let*
>>532519105Bitch please, I've eaten two of those, stalks n all. Yes, they were hot but im not dead.
>>532519170They taste like shit literally people only eat them for le epic I can take the burn challenge. Habaneros are the best hot pepper and pack more heat than a yuropuss can handle and actually have a nice fruity flavor.
>>532519116We have the luck to have the association kokopelli, they were attacked in justice by the governement for selling non modified seeds. There are 12 pages of varieties for tomatoes alone.Im growing zucchini with their seeds this year, I wish I knew this website earlier. Next year I will plant everything with their seeds.
>>532519346I wish you the best of luck fella, I hope that you have a bountiful harvest.
>>532519268I agree, I dont like eating any kind of food thats past medium spice as it ruins the flavour of the food. But a good quality spice can be identified by how quickly the burning stops. Good spice doesn't burn for prolonged periods.
>>532513554what does the copper do? I just got some copper pots and utensils?
>>532519484Thank you. I wish the same to you.
>>532514906Based.https://youtu.be/7vyh1UeM57w
>>532519497Yeah the habanero is perfect, I dry them out and grind them and use it as red pepper flakes because I live around Mexicans and my taste buds are burnt out.
>>532513487
>>532513554>Just stop eating goyim!You're that desperate huh
>>532519674>jap is upset that people are shilling... growing your own foodI don't believe that you are Japanese, probably a jeet on a VPN.
>>532519796upset because it's still too low quality. my standards are higher. i'm sorry if yours are not.
>>532513487Unironically grow potatoes and onions, they love you and want to be eaten.
>>532513487>you are growing your own food rightNo, but I do grow my own tomatoes in the summer. They taste so much better than store-bought tomatoes.
>>532513487>fellow green thumbs on /pol/Only good thread and also wish everyone a great harvest.
>>532513487Why would you grow low calorie food as preparation for the great depression? You'll starve. Get some chickens and potatoes.
>>532520594This is an undeniable fact that has become a meme.
I can't grow shit where I am.And I dont live in a city
>>532514889Can we get this with human hands?
>>532519629My favourite is feferoni.
Don't have the space for it, and buying a piece of land is impossible here.
>>532520738For me? I grow things that I want to eat, I'm not going to starve because I can just walkout side and shoot a deer, turkey, pronghorn, or my neighbors cattle. Why pay a high price for God's bounty that is free with patience? I also like nuturing plants and watching them grow and they reward me for caring for them with their fruits. You are disconnected from nature.
>>532520877Me too. Some are bitter and I haven't figured out how to tell which is which. I will say that the Aldi brand sucks
>>532513487Brandywine? The gourmet's choice!
>>532514022>>532513554>>532520738 Causes massive seething so def. Worth it
>>532518903Cute and efficient! ^^
>>532521012Yeah you gotta go marco polo, but there's probably deli brand shit that's 10x better. I haven't met a meal they don't compliment. You can even just down a jar of them with garlic bread. good luck the next morning though lmao
>>532513487Fucking cringe.

>>532513682>>532517440it doesn't matter how they look - the taste matters. Meaty ones can be better than the watery ones.and taste depends on many things - mainly the soil and the absorption of minerals. It's not easy to grow a really good tasting tomato t. grew my own for like 20 years
>>532513487they have basically no calories, you'd better grow potatoes in the apocalypse, retard
>>532513487Those are the ugliest most disgusting looking piece of shit tomatoes I have ever seen. You should feel shame.
>>532513554I eat with the big wooden spoon and fork from my grandma's wall
>>532521478Nobody likes Sweden for good reasons, you are like Canadians on crack.
>>532521477>nutrients dont matter, muh caloriesWhy dont you plant both or buy a sack of wheat and fuck off?
>>532521478They're actually quite nice and flavorful. Cut a fat slice and put it on a burger and you'll have one of the freshest tomato tastes you've ever had.
>>532521456first day here huh
>>532521358make barriers with copper wire or meshit kills snails and slugssalt too, though you wouldn't want that to end up in the dirt
>>532513715Once I got a garden plot at the church across the street. My brother and I threw a bunch of seeds across the plot and then got bare foot and tried to smash them in the dirt. Then we watered it that one time. We let the weeds grow with the plants like the Bible says. Our plan was to eventually weed it and then whatever was strong enough to grow would become our seedbank. But, the church decided to mow the whole thing over. Kek.
>world semi gets along when it comes to farming tomatoesJews are gonna ruin this
>>532521358give them remains of carrot skin, lettuce etc keeps them busy
>>532521654but its not even a controversial or out there claim. acid + metal = issue
>>532521859Wait were you guys trolling that church or legitimately horrible with plants kek?
>>532521979We are trying to breed super plants
>>532521915Cast iron peeps know, that seasoning is a layer of pride and must be protected at all costs. Not even meming that's how I feel, but I still cook tomato sauces in it regularly.
>>532522040cross breeding vegetables with weeds would get you visited by the glowniggers
>>532513487Are those transgender tomatoes?
>>532522236That's what tomatoes looked like 100 years ago before McDonalds made you think flavorless tomatoes were the standard that most people discads
>>532522218KekkedGot a deeply concerned look from my neighbor last year when he overheard me calling the “fireflies” glowniggers as is my new tradition. Didn’t realize he was outside. Fucking whoops.
>>532513487tomatoes are a subpar choice. you will be growing potatoes, at best
>>532513487Spaghetti is much better with mellow Beefsteak tomatoes than the standard Roma.
>northern euopeons are very concerned about tomato growingsus
>>532513487>brandywine tomatoesThe plant is heavily cultivated in spite of the fruit requiring 80 to 100 days to reach maturity, making it among the slowest maturing varieties of common tomato, and the cultivar's relatively low yield.
>>532522236Brandywine is one of the tastiest tomato varieties there are. Anon has no idea what a tomato is until tasting one of these.Cherokee Purple is also very good, but a bit finicky regarding weather. Marinda too if you have volcanic soil (it is highly sensitive to terroir), but the seeds may be very expensive.If you only have a balcony, try Brandywine Cherry.With the Brandywine varieties, it is important to let them ripen til the color is a cool, almost blueish pink, like in OP. If they still have a yellowish "piggy-pink" hue the flavor hasn't fully developed. In picrel, those two on top left are not fully ripe.
>>532515900LOL I swear I didn't read your post before writing>>532523252Cherokee Purple really tastes as if you had pimped a normal tomato with a pinch of herbed salt. But as you said, they're situational.Brandywine Cherry is what anon would recommend if you haven't tried this before. Unlike the big ones, which want good care to crop plenty, the cherry version will get you a satisfying yield even if you don't yet know what you're doing.Tigerella picrel is a good variety if you want a "normal" (non-beefsteak non-cherry) tomato. No special flavor, just very tasty, good cropper, robust and forgiving, and look awesome on the vine.
Comfy thread, I wanna grow jalapenos and jar them because I put them on everhthing, captcha hurts my eyes and I hope someone kills hiro
>>532523108>requiring 80 to 100 days to reach maturity80-90 days is what one expects with beefsteak tomatoes. Them fuckers need plenty time to grow yuge.As I said, there's also a cherry variety available with the same concentrated Brandywine flavor.If Anon is impatient, NATO bred some tomato varieties for growing in Northern Canadian, Iceland and Greenland bases during the Cold War. They are called the "Sub-Arctic" series and the best is maybe Sub-Arctic Plenty, occasionally available from collectors (no need to go to NATO for them). They grow fast, flower early, and have a reasonable yield. Flavor is about what you'd expect tho (meaning there is almost none). BUT they can be outdoors even right up to the Polar Circle and beyond. That's their one redeeming quality. The Soviets simply relied on traditional peasant varieties like Altai, which are also quite hardy but not as much as the Sub-Arctics.Picrel is Queen of the Night, which is OK all around and looks really beautiful, but it's not outstanding in any other aspect.
>>532524169Easy if you start in February inside, much like any other peperoni-type capsicum. Seeds may be a bit hard to round up, because jalapenos are sold unripe meaning the seeds are immature and won't germinate. When you find one on sale that is getting red, you can usually source your seeds from there.For a gourmet chili, Anon recommends Lemon Drop. They can be overwintered at home and are hot alright, but less than a habanero. They don't crossbreed with peperoni, paprika, habanero etc, and have a delicious citrus aroma and are good for drying too, becoming an intense but translucent yellow.
>>532524487I’m doing a bunch of jalafuegos and extra thick cayennes this year, among a bunch of other shit.Got any specific advice for those two cultivars? I’ve never grown them before. They’ve been doing great in the tent, though. Pic rel is from about a week ago but I thought this one looked like a little flameo, hotman.
>>532522218No we were just trying to see which vegetables would be strong enough to grow among the weeds and then get seeds from them.
>>532522236There is an actual trannycommie tomato called Glossy Rose Blue. Picrel, incidentially proving anon is probably once again the whitest guy in the room who's not a ginger.>>532522395LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
>>532524657>Got any specific advice for those two cultivars?No, you'll be fine these have no special needs. Just get them outside early (when it's 70°F/20°C or more at daytime and no less than 60°F/15°C at night), maybe in pots at first, and then plant them out on a rainy, overcast day.
>>532513487Yeah gardening is based, much more difficult than people think, so it's good to learn now, it's all about controlling the temperature of the soil and containers and the moisture level, not enough water or too hot as is common in the desert instant dearh to the plant, no way to recover, too much water from bad drainage you get root rot, so desert gardens are the hardest, need massive shade, good drainage, so that you can water 3 times per day to keep plant cool but not flooded with old water, constant fresh flow, also means you need compost to feed the plant and chemical fertilizer because nutrients get flushed quickly
>>532514022Garden tomatoes taste amazing bro, you have no idea, nutrition city
My most successful cherry tomatoes are pic related. Stabilized sungolds. Always sweet, crazily productive, even in pots.
>>532524657Basically this, >>532525629Peppers are easy to grow if you get the soil moisture right and keep them cool in the desert, the flowers are delicate so water near the base, don't blast the flowers with the hose, give them a little miracle grow once a week and mix a little compost into the soil as you grow andinitiallywhen you plant. Watch out for tomato worms, kill them immediately if you see any, cut them in half with scissors, nutrition requirements is like tomato plants, same type of plant, they like good draining soil but you need enough water retention the soil will stsy moist during the heat of the day from about 10 to7 pm if growing in the desert watering in the morning around 8 or 9 and once more during the afternoon around 2 pots especially dark ones should be kept in shade on north sides of trees with good insulation from the heat so the bigger the pot is the better, planting in the ground if hot and dry whete you live make a deep hole for them to grow in and put tall ridge on outside of hole to protect from heat and put up 50 percent shade cloth if growingin desert at a minimum, the 115 degree heat us just too much, ideal temp is about 80 to 90 for flowers to fruit becausemust be below that to set at night, but if your soil is always soggy in the summer plant on a mound instead to improve drainage, common problem in moist environments if planted in ground, but seldom a problem if you are using pots with adequate drainage holes
>>532513554what a massive faggot you are
what are the best medical or multi use herbs to grow? is mint based? so far im growing sage and mint>>532520738you need vitamin c
>>532514022the real money saver is salad greens. we have a big salad every day for half the year. imagine trying to buy that much completely unsprayed salad.if you've got the weather tomatoes and stuff grow like mad for months. up here they dont do so well many years.
>>532526851Yes mint and sage both very based, sage is a sacred plant to American Indians and tastes wonderful in poultry dishes, mint also has medicinal qualities, chewing a piece settles the stomach problems, the smell is soothing, used for candies and deserts and served with meat especially lamb and beef, both can be used in salsas and soups and salads. Watch out as temps increase, keep them in the shade and give them a lot of water, especially the mint, mint loves water and grows natural along creeks, if either plant gets too much heat or sun they'll diebor do something called bolting where they grow big fast before dying without a lot of leaves, you want sliw steady growth with lots of side leaves, once flowers appear you can let some remain and pluck others for making teas, tge ones you leave bees and butterflies will pollinate creating seeds for the next generation, once flowers start to dry the flowers are almost ready for planting, wait until crispy and pull off, and inside flowers are tge seeds, twist in fingers on paper and dark seeds will be inside, then save those and plant next generation, often right next to the plants you already have, your plants will probably die during the winter if you don't bring thrm inside so the seeds will be useful to get new ones going. Keep populating like that and give starter plants to frens and love will grow.
>>532519105>Why would you make this?-Chilli Klaus
>>532513902Kind of over rated. Once you get into peppers there are so many different kinds. I enjoy the mad hatters now since they look like space food
>>532526851Another great medicinal plant is aloe, the plants can get huge, inside meat of leaves are edible and can be frozen for food or teas but most often fresh jelly stuff inside leaves used to heal and sooth cuts and burns including sun burns. Grows easy in desert with adequate water similar to a cactus.>>532519105Based weapon grower, be careful not to eat them straight, cut the chili with gloves and add to tomatoes for salsa for chips or something. The plants take a long times to grow and should be brought in during the winter because they don't usually yirld fruit until the next full tear of growth. All of the super hot pepper plants are like that. Use grow light to get them started and during the winter. Follow these other guides for pepper advice >>532526362>>532525629 also growing from seed easy with peppers, soil should be around 70 or 80f for germination kept moist until plants appear then water a little bit every day unless too wet. Peppers can be easy to germinate but the super hots take longer and are harder so plant at least 5 seeds for each attempt in each pot or 3 in one starter pod. Good chance you'll get one or two seeds to germinate. Keep indoors under grow light until plant is the height of your hand switching to larger pots as necessary by scraping the inside and turning to the side to slide out and putting in next bigger pot with a little extra soil, being very careful to never pull on plant while moving to next sized pot. Eventually you can put pot outside in the shade. Taking plant outside in the mirning to get extra sun will grow faster too, but must be brought in until pot and plant is large enough to protect from heat, water outdoir plants at least twice a day during summer and keep in shade unless it's really moist where you live.
>>532526015Based. I also grow cherry maters. My variety is gardeners delight. I agree cherry is the way to go for home gardens.
>>532524169Jalapenos are easy to grow, go for it, your local nursery probably has baby plants to get you started, follow my guide from there >>532525629>>532526362>>532529213

>>532529996same here. hard believe that theres even a market for all that shitty non stick crap. so nice to have a simple pan that can cook anything, anywhere (stove top, oven, open fire) at any temp. new converts should maybe start with an 8" pan and go from there.
>>532518313Pretty though, transfer some to pot grow as decoration, then if want to grow pther things instead dig rest out with shovel by scraping ground. But I'd leave it if i could, hard to get flowers to grow in the desert>>532517773Beans super easy to grow, go for it, try bush type beans instead of pole beans, pole beans need a pole or trellis or fence to climb, but bush type are juat a regular plant, you can eat the whole pod, fresh or cooked or wait until pod gets crispy and take dried bean out and save for the future to plant more or to cook, economically it's better to by dry beans though, they are cheap, get mason jars, wash and air dry well for two days to prevent moisture, transfer beans to jar, put in oxygen absorber packet and close, oxygen absorber sucks air making good seal without dry heat canning, will store in dark place 5 to 10 years, very cheap survival food, to cook poor beans into water, heat on stove until boiling, turn off and leave covered a few hours until soft, rinse changing water if available to clean beans better, turn back on and cook until fully soft, in emergency you just leave in cold water as long as possible until semi soft enough to eat, not ideal but it will work, add salt as necessary, bacon grease, pepper etc for good cooking and flavor when beans almost done

>>532513902I'm growing some Trinidad scorpions this year, I like the flavor way more than that of a reaper.
>>532519565Nothing bad. Copper is a nutrient actually. But acid atacks it so clean your pots after with water to neutralize the acid or the copper will degrade
>>532517533Cherry store ones are decent, it's the big tomatoes at the store which taste like shit. It's because they harvest them before ripe because they are determinate varieties and it saves them money to hire Mexicans to do them all at once even if not ripe yet but cherry ripen all the time because they are indeterminate
>>532530599just bury some eggs and a chicken tree should pop out in about 3 months
>>532531864Real? Or are you just clucking with me?
>>532524204thx that's actually interesting.
>>532532011it'll actually start as a creeping vine. only changes into a tree after a couple months.
>>532513487I don’t have much success with brandy wines. Celebrities do well here. What are you tricks for getting lots of tomatoes I’m just starting out and haven’t done any trimming.
>>532513487Grow roots for sustenance and grow squash for enjoyment.
I’ve got three raised beds and about a dozen large planters. One bed will be cucumbers, another bed will be salad greens, I haven’t decided what to put in the third but it’s shaded. I’m going to put in 7 tomato plants and a few cherry tomatoes. One radish box. Leaving me with about 4-5 planters undecided and one raised bed. I also have an herb planter and a strawberry patch. Any suggestions?
>>532518212I have problems with broccoli moths. Those little white ones that lay eggs on anything related to broccoli. Completely destroyed my black kale crop last year.
>>532513487None of my pepper or tomato seeds sprouted. I still have time, but I suspect something more nefarious is afoot.

>>532513487No I'm not growing my own food. A man only needs to know how to fish and he eats forever
>>532532809Keep well watered, trim dead area immediately to force new growth, use cages or trellis to keep fruit off the ground. Feed with fertilizer once a week, kill all fucking tomato worms, check thrm every morning and night, uv flashlight helps a lot, under uv worms glow in the dark like feds, during day they hide under leaves perfectly camo, spray blossom end rot preventive on the leaves, it's juat extra calcium, adding bine meal to soil also helps, some epson salt in soil is good to add magnesium and change ph a little, a lot of shade during the summer, if growing in desert a lot lot of shade and a lot of water, tomatoes are mostly water so unless you live in moist environment ypu want to water twice a day, bury the plants deep, they are vines so they don't mind, while young lits of sunshine will grow them fast
>>532533705Hmm, could be not moist enough, in the ground or pots?
