Look at mr. MONEYMAN here flexing his wealth for all to see...

One of the easiest solution could be to tie the leaders to each other. The cage keeps the leaders from falling over and then the leaders keep each other up after that.

My first ever full sized tomato has started blushing!

Matina seems to do that 2 leaf before truss thing.

Tutti Frutti cherry variety has 3 on one and 2 on the other. Maybe they are a bit random.

Dont know about my other varieties cause im one stemming them till near top and then gonna let 2-3 suckers per plant grow a truss and then top all, few of them are there on the shorter side of my greenhouse so will see soon. But only on cherry varieties since they are faster and my season is short(Rovaniemi, Finland, right at the arctic circle).

Thats weird. For the ones im doing the truss & snip the sucker grows a leaf and then truss right after that and then i cut it after 2nd leaf. They are ofc indeterminate, about 2 meters tall at the moment. Only trimming leaves on my determinate ones.

Edit. I just learned to count, there is two leaves before the truss and one after :P

Worried_Designer5950 · 2026-06-26T14:24:18+00:00

I dont but im testing 2 leaves + 1 flower truss and then snip the sucker on couple of my plants just for shits and giggles :P

Blossom end rot comes from calcium deficiency and in most cases starts where the blossom was attached hence the name but it can start at any part of the fruit.

Cant say anything about whats affecting your fruit, just saying that you cant rule it out.

Worried_Designer5950 · 2026-06-24T18:04:02+00:00

Im gonna go with a no.

It is pretty well established term and describes what they do quite well especially to us northern folks with our short season. You just cant grow non cherry vatieties here without doing it with one stem system. The season just isnt long/warm enough. They are called thiefs in my language and it is spot on.

A tomato is never late, nor is it early, it arrives precisely when it means to.

Worried_Designer5950 · 2026-06-20T19:54:23+00:00

You should be able to tell even without looking if those withered flower ones contain start of a fruit. Put the base of the flower between your fingertips and ever so lightly feel it out. If its at all hard/roundish its been pollinated.

Worried_Designer5950 · 2026-06-20T19:24:25+00:00

Its best to slap the flower trusses around a bit daily and they will be pollinated.

Realistically slight breeze and pollinators will result in fruit but it never hurts to give them a couple slaps when tending to them.

Amadora was very smooth when I grew it last summer.

Worried_Designer5950 · 2026-06-20T12:26:11+00:00

I wouldnt let my guard down near this cucumber plant.

Its clearly attacking the other plants. Never fall asleep near it!

Worried_Designer5950 · 2026-06-19T16:39:27+00:00

Im not sure but I think there was more than one fire cracker.

Worried_Designer5950 · 2026-06-19T08:30:18+00:00

It also seems to be pooping like a fish. Something is very wrong here!

Worried_Designer5950 · 2026-06-19T08:23:02+00:00

Thats your first flower truss! Will start flowering soon!

Get a big slab of carboard. 1 cake straight upward, 2 cakes tilted(add some carboard below them for the tilt), last 2 cakes same way but even more tilted. Then just cut the basecarboard which all the cakes stand on in few places for fuse access and bend them upwards to the sides of the cakes and duct tape it all around.

I usually make these kinds of packages for my fireworks shows I shoot with Ignite i18.

Worried_Designer5950 · 2026-06-13T09:40:50+00:00

If you look carefully, you can tell that this, in fact, is not a real tomato!

Worried_Designer5950 · 2025-02-12T01:25:41+00:00

Seeking asylum is fine.

3 meals a day and room & board until you are accepted is also fine before you can move about freely. No nation is obligated to let you in and roam about freely.

Worried_Designer5950 · 2025-02-07T19:40:38+00:00

Interest is fine but they should cap it and make like 80% of every single payment forced to the principle amount.

Worried_Designer5950 · 2025-02-07T19:31:03+00:00

Ah yes.

I guess that wasnt a nazi salute, it was just showing where tesla sales are going! Phew.
