Organic Tomato Gardening
Envision sinking your teeth in to a home picked, wonderfully ripe, delicious and organically grown tomato, with the juice running down your chin. Yummy!
Through organic tomato gardening, you’ll be able to say goodbye to those shop-bought tomatoes with tough skins, and tasteless, pale flesh. Whenever tomatoes are home grown organically and are naturally ripened, it is easy to pluck a tomato off your plant and eat it without washing it to get rid of chemical substances.
Nowadays people are becoming increasingly aware and concerned about the importance of their health. As a result of this world-wide shift in awareness, a lot more people right around the world are selecting to explore the alternative of growing their own organic veg and fruits, including organic tomato gardening. Tomatoes will grow in just about any kind of soil and after the frosts are gone.
Organic tomato gardening in your backyard is incredibly simple:
First decide where you want to place your tomato bed, ensuring it is in a sunny position and away from trees and shrubs, which tend to rob the soil of the nutrition you will need for your plants. Tomatoes like six to eight hours of sun every day.
Second, dig over the soil and apply some well rotted compost and manure. If you don’t curently have any on hand, you can buy bags of compost and manure from your Garden Nursery. Rake over your garden bed and leave for a week or so.
Third is to choose which variety of tomato you want to grow. The little cocktail ones that do well in garden containers, or the plum shaped ones, or maybe even the big beefsteak ones. There are lots of varieties to select from which are ideal for organic tomato gardening.
Furthermore, you’ll need some garden stakes to support your plants as they grow. You can grow from seed or buy seedlings which will save you some time - that’s what I like to do.
Right after going to your Garden Nursery to select the seedlings you need for your organic tomato gardening, the fourth step is to plant them out, sticking to the directions that come with the container. Usually you would plant your tomatoes about two to two and a half feet apart and hammer in a stake alongside to support your plant as they grow heavy and laden with fruit.
Almost done - right now you need to water your plants in well, after that stand back and admire your own handiwork.
Be sure you keep the ground moist although not soggy and finally when the plants are about six weeks old, it’s a good time to then add cow tea.
This is made by placing about a quarter of a bucketful of cow manure into an old used bucket, fill it up with water, stir and leave to “brew” for a week or two. Pour off about a quarter of the ‘tea’ right into a watering can, fill with water and apply to the tomatoes.
You’ll be surprised at how well your tomatoes will love cow tea and respond. Stand back and wait for your first batch of organic tomatoes to ripen. Save the remainder of the cow tea to apply again in another two to three weeks, always diluting it, or water it into other garden beds.
My personal favorite tomato recipe is to toast some bread, spread with butter, add some slices of tomato and some freshly chopped basil. Season with some salt and pepper. Enjoy - this is simply delicious! Nothing is better than the fresh, full flavor of home grown tomatoes from organic tomato gardening.
