Tomato Bushes
I love tomatoes of all varieties. From the cherry and grape tomatoes, to the big juicy beefsteak varieties. I currently have 9 tomato bushes in the garden. The beefsteak tomato is fruiting the heaviest. Here is the first picture of this wonderful plant.
The Beefsteak Tomato is a large juicy fruit. It is a large bushy plant and is relatively hardy. The only thing that this bush has had in encouragement is sufficient water, the odd shot of worm juice, and some 2 small doses of a commercial liquid fertiliser. It has gone well right from the time of its planting in the Rich Gro Pro Mix potting mix. I am very much looking forward to consuming one of the developed tomatoes.
The Cherry Tomato plant is also doing remarkably well. It is a paltry 6 inches tall but has fruited incredibly heavily. In fact it was purchased already fruiting. At one point I really worried that we would lose this plant, however since its relocation to a sunnier position it has gone gangbusters and has produced many small sweet and juicy fruits.
The recent additions are also doing well in a growing stage. I am not expecting any fruit from these this season, however they should be mature and hardy by next year. I then expect a heavy successful year. From left to right the varieties are Black Russian, Mortgage Lifter, Tigerella, and Green Zebra. These should be great fruits next season.
I also have a grape tomato bush growing, however do not have any associated imagery. I will get some soon.
All these plants have only had worm juice and the very odd application of a commercial liquid fertiliser. All are growing well and we are confident of continued success for this year and the next.

Nice post thanks for the info. Seem to have the green thumb
Even nicer eating them after growing them yourself.
