I am trying to grow tomato and it is just not working i have them in..?

Question

A shed and all it has done for the past 1 and a half weeks is rain, its been warm and is warm in the shed, they get plenty of light and enough water and drainage but there is not sign of fruit and even the stalks do not seem strong enough to carry fruit, i have been given the tomato feed as well..? Is it just that they need more heat or what else could be going wrong ( i only have a shed and a flower bed)

Answer 1

Just like  us, plants need oxygen, are they getting enough fresh air? As well as warmth and sunlight(albeit filtered, so as not to scorch).     If flowers have appeared you can pollinate by using a cotton bud.Just insert it very gently into each flower. Though a lot of modern hybrid varieties only require you to tap the plants and spray with a fine mist of water. To be honest, I tend to do both every few days. Hope you get some soon...GOOD LUCK!!!!

Answer 2

Excuse me for this if you are not a gardener THEY DONT GROW SO FAST! do you have bees? the pollinate the plant.

look for flower and you need male and female cells! if u dont hav bees take pollen from a tomato flower and transfer it takes 1 month and put some fertiliser and good luck (no pesticides pls) and sorry for mistakes!

i hope that helped

ttfn!

Answer 3

Take them out of the shed, they need fresh air as well as sunlight (and not sunlight through glass).

The breeze will make the stems stronger too.

Don't feed plant food as there is no tomatoes on the plant - all this does is encourage the plant to produce leaves (I made this mistake one year with a pepper plant, tons of leaves, no peppers).

To support the stems, get a cane, dig in the soil and tie a piece of wool round it - but not tight!, it should support, not hold tightly.

Water when the soil is dry, and in the evenings - don't water if it's hot as you'll scorch the plant and the water will evaporate.

it takes time for the plant to produce tomatoes - eventually it'll produce small yellow flowers.  Each one of these flowers will eventually end up a tomato.

Good luck and green-fingers crossed!

Answer 4

You have to give them time.

Mine did this too and they shot up and I was like WOW!

Answer 5

Have they had little yellow flowers on them yet? I've got my tomatoes in a pot outside and the flowers have only just come out. Give it a bit of time. Maybe they'd be better outside now.

Answer 6

Sounds like you are doing everything right, just give them time to grow.  I planted mine a week ago and they are twice the size already.  They do like sunshine, not just light.  Good luck.

Answer 7

They don't need more heat but they need more sunlight. The rays of the sun are not just for heat they also feed certain nutrients they need.  Sometimes it helps to talk to or around your plants to help them grow and produce better
