Monitoring Greenhouse Temperature & Humidity

Take a look at our latest video on our digital Thermometer & hygrometer to ensure your plants are protected from the effects of frost and humidity related problems.
Sideshooting Tomatoes
Tuesday, 18 October 2011 10:25:44 Europe/London
Unless you are growing tomatoes which are a Bush variety you should remove the sideshoots from your tomato plants to focus your plant's energy into producing fruit rather than foilage.
A sideshoot is a shoot that grows at about 45 degrees from the main truss (stem) between the leaf and main stem. Take care not to confuse these sideshoots with the trusses which are the stems that produce the flowers, which turn into tomatoes. We find it is better to leave the top few leaves until we're sure they are sideshoots.
Simply pinch the sideshoot out with your thumb and finger.
Remove your sideshoots every week because the sooner they are removed the more energy your plant will out into fruit production.
Tying in Tomatoes
Tuesday, 18 October 2011 09:41:42 Europe/London
You will need to secure your tomatoes to a support (whether that's your greenhouse roof, bamboo stakes, a specialist tomato frame or a homemade structure).
Below is a video of Paul, our Gardening Angel, training the tomato stem directly upwards to use the greenhouse roof as the support. You should tie a loop of string around the stem near the bottom of the plant when flowers first appear and then you can gradually twist the plant around the tomato plant stem as the plant grows.
