Anyone growing strawberries, tomatoes or chillis?
Anyone on here grow strawberries, tomatoes or chillis?
I bought 3 small strawberry plants last year and we got a couple of strawberries off them, then they bred like mad and this year I have 8 plants. The three original ones are now huge and clumpy and literally teeming with fruit: And the smaller ones are doing pretty well too: The bigg'uns are in a large terracotta pot with last year's soil and I've been feediting them Tomorite tomato food whoch apparently feeds the fruit rather than the plant itself. Well it seems to have done the trick and with the good weather it looks like we're going to have a nice crop. The smaller ones are a bit crammed in platic planter but I think I've left it too late to re-pot them. We also have a hanging basket with two Tumbler tomato plants which seem to be growing quite well too and I have a baby jalapeno pepper plant on the sunny window sill in the bedroom. Do you good people of BD have any tips or tricks for me? I've heard you get more strawberries the next year if you don't let them breed, is this true?
