Giant Tomatoes
I have the giant tomato plants, how do I produce giant tomato’s?
I ordered the As Seen On TV Giant Tomato plants, got them started and now they are in separate planters and are about 2 feet tall. I lost any instructions. There is a flower or two on a couple of the 6 plants. I read somewhere that if you pinch a few flowers off the others will get bigger tomatos. How much fertilizer and when? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Once the plant begins to flower, you should pinch off the first couple of clusters to keep the tomatoes off the ground. Examine the new clusters that come up after that for misshaped and double blossoms. Sometimes you find 2 flowers on one stem, these ones have good potential. Thin the remaining clusters of tomatoes to 2 or 3 and watch their progress. Eventually you will pinch off all the smaller tomatoes, and keep one tomato per cluster. You now have five or six tomatoes per plant. As time progresses you can cut them back until there is only one or two tomatoes per plant. These are the ones you hope will be the winning tomatoes. Pinch off the top of the plant. During this time of fruit selection, make sure you have been trimming the plant of excessive growth and spraying for insects and fungus. You should make sure that you leave enough foliage to shade your prize-winning tomato and provide a place for excessive water to go incase of accidental over watering. Keep your water and fertilizing program going right up to the weigh off date.
