gravy_14 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) @RandyBoBandy Nice mate. I got my myself some mr fothergill's roma plum tomatos from the local garden centre....thinking of putting some out at plot as i dont have a garden, got a balcony but not optimum are you cracking some mangos? i found a new plot today, on a south facing bank amongst young and old trees. Banks are good right? theres an area where i can fit about 6-9 plants with good open area above. Seems very quiet...got a good feeling about it. Lovely soft soil, just opened up Things are progressin well, wanna blow me beans now! Edited March 19, 2017 by gravy_14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flighty Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 @RandyBoBandy they're nice the cucamelon's stick 2 or 3 in a nice big pot and give them something to climb up. Really easy to look after and they'll get quite big with plenty of fruit. Keep the root over winter in dry compost ready for the following season too 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyBoBandy Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 nice one.. ive always fancied growing some toms.. im sure ive read people having great results on banks.... fox grew some big plants on the banks.. but he also got ripped.. i think it was the guys who go along cleaning the river ? cant remeber.. but id give it a shot for sure.. if you have a good feeling then go for it! nothing like a good feeling about a plot! the mango in the tin are regs.. once ive sorted the fem plots i might crack some regs... i was thinking about getting a fem in my next pick n mix order.... i was gonna get a mango.. passion fruit and blackberry og.. blackberry og gives off bugger all smell so they are good in the garden, so im gonna grab 2 of them and a passion fruit.. congrats on the plot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the root over winter in dry compost ready for the following season too cheers bee... yeah i watched a quick vid on youtube.. the guy lets his climb and also he lets them just droop down the sides of his pot.. he also said the same as you about cutting them back for the winter.. did yours have a taste of lemon or lime too ? ill do as you say and stick a few in a pot Edited March 19, 2017 by RandyBoBandy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravy_14 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) @RandyBoBandy nice one mate. chuffed like the guy in the garden centre recommended the romas so i thought id give them a shot, got some chilis too cayenne f1's..again might slap them at a plot. Na mate, its a just a bank, not a river bank lol. it banks a farmers field. theres a farmers vehicle tracks behind the bank but you wont see the plants from his makeshift road, on that basis i thought it worth a shot. The farmer doesnt seem to have a good handle on things, crap everywhere...i was thinking of some mangos here as it goes. IF they germ...i hear the regs have terrible germ rates dude...knowing you though you'll ace them ill have to figure out what to put there.....think i'll spread the harvests here liek my main fem spot- early, mid, late.

RandyBoBandy Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 i have some tobasco left from a couple of seasons back... one of the mildest chillies! i thought because tobasco sauce is mild as fook the chillies would be too.... i pulled one off that was still pretty grean on its way to orange... pure fire.. bottle of milk and half a tub of ice cream... great for cooking tho.. ah right i get ya.. well any plot you get that good feeling inside is worth planting imo.. sometimes you um and ahh about a plot... but when its a good feeling then its all systems go lol.. ive popped a couple of fem packs and a couple of reg seeds and had 100 percent... im sure people used to say the fems had shite rates too... but all has been good for me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flighty Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 @RandyBoBandy you can't stop them cucamelons mate, they climbed all over my toms, chillies and even a cream mandarin auto I had in the same greenhouse ha ha @gravy_14 I hate to say it mate but I think you got done with those Roma toms, they're not easy to grow in this country even in a gh. If you want some for a plot try garden pearl, their a proper outdoor type, small and really sweet. I think I've got a few seeds in the fridge. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
