The mega cherry tomatoes taste fine, but H and I decided that they didn't taste enough better than supermarket tomatoes to be worth the extra time they take to grow in an AG. Mine tied up the Farm Plus for too long. Also good to know! Thanks! |

I love those teeny plants -- especially with baby tomatoes on them.

Day 32: Friday, is now my day to take PPM's and add CalMag and/or nutes.
Micro Tom and Orange Hat needed only CalMag (2ML).
Mega Cherry got AG nutes (10ML) and CalMag (2ML).

My Mega Cherries certainly look like healthy plants, but the pollinated flowers shrivel up without producing any fruit.  I was going to increase the nutrients, but maybe I should also be trimming back the wild vegetation? Any thoughts? |

dianne, Pruning the wild vegetation would be a good idea--take off the lower leaves that aren't getting light, and the branches that have flowered without setting fruit. Better air circulation helps my tomatoes and peppers to set fruit. The AG blog suggests that you try some "Blossom Set" if all else fails. I got some from Amazon--it's a spray--but then my poblanos started setting fruit after a pruning.

Two of the Mega Cherries. One Mighty-Mini. I have trimmed the low branches (especially the ones shading the Mighty-Mini and the branches that were too tall and growing out the sides. I'm easing the nutrient level up a little at a time. I don't want to go as high as sher's recommended 900 ppm because they aren't fruiting yet. Fingers crossed!

Day 51: Lots of itsy-bitsy tomatoes on the 2 little cherries. Lots of blooms on the Mega, but I've not spotted any tomatoes yet. Doesn't mean they are not there. That Mega is a monster! Obviously very happy. I keep pruning to keep her under control and she just seems to say, ahhhhh...more room!  |

I dropped a lot of blooms the last time I grew the Mega's. Then the toms came, fast and furious.

Don't get discouraged, they made quite a mess. Then, one of the first toms was like a Siamese twin. It grew into a large heart.
