I've been growing tomatoes for five years, from the kitchen to the balcony. A lot of people think that little tomatoes are "anything you can do," but there's a lot of doorways for the fruit that comes out of the water and it's sweet. I've got a few experiences of the pits i've stepped on。
How can you grow sweet tomatoes
Sweet, seven on light, three on fat. I tried to leave the plant on the north balcony, and the fruit was sore. I was on the south balconyIt's six hours a dayThe same species, the sweetness has doubled directly. There is not enough light, light cooperation is weak, sugar accumulates slowly and fruit is naturally acidic。
Fertilizers don't pour nitrogen. I've had an early start, but three days later i've got fat, leaves are long, fruit is small and tasteless. Then it was changed toWater diluted by potassium phosphate for flower and fruitOnce in ten days, the leaves don't grow crazy, the fruit fades, and the sweet tastes。
Sweet little tomatoes for months
The north and the south are very different. I live in the southWe'll plant it by the end of february and mid-aprilIt's the safest way to avoid spring cold. Northern friends have to wait until mid-april or even early may, when the frost is over. Too early to come down, and the seedlings will freeze, and they will be lost。
The balconies are not seasonally restricted and indoor temperatures above 15 degrees are readily available. But more than 35 degrees of pollination in the summer would be problematic, and the rate of sit-in would be significantly lower, so spring and autumn would be the party's golden window。
What about sweet tomatoes
The fruit is not sweet enough, it's probably watering too hard. I have a dead rule:It's two centimeters dryIt's pouring. There's so much water in the earth, so quick to suck, the sugar is diluted, and the mouth is "a ketchup." water and sugar, that's the trick。
There is also an easy point to ignore: don't rush to pick the fruits when they get softer. Me, tooWhen the color is completely dark and flexibleAnd sugar accumulates more. Early harvests can be 30-40% less sweet than that。
The planting of tomatoes is not a one-night thing, from sowing to eating the first sweet fruit, and it takes 70 days to say nothing. Don't rush it. Follow the rhythm. You'll be rewarded by the little seedlings on the balcony。
