Organic Tomato Gardening
Picture sinking your teeth into a freshly picked, beautifully ripe, sweet and organically harvested tomato, with all 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 bland, pale flesh. When tomatoes are home grown without chemicals and therefore are naturally ripened, you can pluck a tomato off your own plant and eat it without washing it to get rid of chemical substances.
Nowadays people are becoming progressively more conscious and concerned about the importance of their health and wellbeing. Due to this global change in awareness, more and 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 over.
Organic tomato gardening in your back garden is very simple:
First decide where you want to place your tomato bed, making sure it is in a sunny position and away from trees, which have a tendency to rob the soil of the nutrients you will need for your crops. Tomatoes like 6 to 8 hrs of sun every day.
Second, dig over the ground and apply some well rotted compost and manure. If you don’t already 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 small cocktail ones that do well in garden pots, or the plum shaped ones, or perhaps even the big beefsteak ones. There are lots of varieties to choose 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.
After visiting 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 – now you need to water your plants in well, after that stand back and admire your handiwork.
Make sure you keep the ground damp but not soggy and finally when the plants are about 6 weeks old, it is a good time to add some cow tea.
This is made by putting 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’ into a watering can, fill with water and apply to the tomatoes.
You will 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. Conserve the rest of the cow tea to use 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 plus some freshly chopped basil. Season with some salt and pepper. Enjoy – this really is simply delicious! Nothing is better than the fresh, full flavor of home grown tomatoes from organic tomato gardening.
