Organic Tomato Gardening
Imagine sinking your teeth into a freshly picked, beautifully ripe, sweet and organically grown tomato, with the juice running down your chin. Yummy!
With organic tomato gardening, you can say goodbye to those shop-bought tomatoes with tough skins, and tasteless, pale flesh. When tomatoes are home grown organically and are naturally ripened, you can pluck a tomato off your plant and eat it without even washing it to get rid of chemicals.
These days people are becoming increasingly aware and concerned about the importance of their health. As a result of this global shift in awareness, more and more people right around the world are choosing to explore the option of growing their own organic veg and fruits, including organic tomato gardening. Tomatoes will grow in just about any type of soil and after the frosts are over.
Organic tomato gardening in your backyard is very simple:
First decide where you want to place your tomato bed, making sure it is in a sunny spot and away from trees, which tend to rob the soil of the nutrients you need for your plants. Tomatoes like six to eight hours of sun each 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 purchase bags of compost and manure from your Garden Nursery. Rake over your garden bed and leave for a week or so.
Third is to decide which variety of tomato you want to grow. The little 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 that are suitable for organic tomato gardening.
Additionally, you will 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 instructions 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, then stand back and admire your handiwork.
Make sure you keep the ground moist but not soggy and finally when the plants are about six weeks old, it’s a good time to add some 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’ into a watering can, fill up 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. Save the rest 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 beats the fresh, full flavor of home grown tomatoes from organic tomato gardening.
