Growing Tomatoes:An art and a Myth

Tomatoes growing is an art and I have an association with the art of tomato growing. Tomatos are rich source of Vitamin C and lycopene and are veey beneficial from health point of view.

Tomato is a perennial herb whose Scientific Name is "Solanum lycopersicum" (Family Solanacea)whose seeds can be sowed throughout the year except during frost days and extreme hot summer day. 

I have a personal experience of growing tomatoes over 15 years. I always preferred to start tomatoes from seeds.As an experiment I selected seeds which were hybrid and in few of My Experiments I harvested seeds from domestic plants. 

To prevent attack of my plants from pests and algae I conferred my seeds to undergo Algae attack initially by placing my seeds in small amount of water and holding it for a couple of days; a black mould appearing on the surface Where revealing that plant will survive from algae and pathogens. 

This experiment was performed on harvested domestic seeds from market bought tomatos. I sowed these seeds at end of summer season in september and i got my seedlings aftter 10 to 14 days which were not tender and were looking strong enough to survive against environmental conditions. 

After 2 months these tomato plants were turning into mature plants.One important thing was that i grew them in sacs.They were packed with Soil of approximate 5 kg in each bag.

I always try calcium carbonate to my plants soil at this level atfer regular intervals.According to my exposure,egg shells proved to be best source of calcium to my plants. For this purpose,i retained some egg shells of daily use and i allowed them to dry.Then by crushing and mashing into fine powder,i added these egg shells in bottles containing water. I poured this Calcium containing water on my tomato plants at regular intervals of every week. 

By Adding this calcium containing water to my tomato plants,resulted in increased size of leaves.

After another few days,yellowish flowers appeared on my tomato plants when its size was 2 to 2.5 feet approximately. These yellow flowers are self pollinating,they become tomatos due to power of wind,insects and flies by which pollination started. 

After another 20 days,these yellow flowers dimished and changed into beautiful buds like appearance which were Raw tomatoes. 

I picked extra branches and some leaves to strengthen my tomato's and to increase the bulk weight of tomatoes. By appling these methods a Got bunch of tomatoes from every plant. 

It was the time when i waited for about 20 more days to get red tomatoes.During this phase,load of water and nutrients was increased so as to fulfill plants demands. I harvested these tomatoes when they were red and also collected seeds for next term of tomato season.

How to start Seeding

Growing plants from Seeds is an art and it also has certain charm enclosed in this myth.However,there are certain factors which can influence on seed germination including seed quality,seed storage,sowing season,water content,soil condition,heat and light. 

I always preferred growing seasonal herbs from seeds.I also preferred to collect seeds from healthy vegetables instead of store baught seeds. Soil media prepared by me consists of combination of organic fertilizer made up of leafs or dead decaying plants remnants and coco peat in a ratio of 20:80.Here i shall not only discuss success i got during seeding but also some failures so that you may beware of these misfortunes.

Here is picture of spinach seeds i added in partly moistened soil and covered with coco peat and placed in partial shadow.

I got little seedlings within seven days which were young and healthy enough demonstrating the wellness of seeding procedure.

After 2 weeks the seedlings were strong enough to be transplanted to a newer bigger pot,so i shifted them carefully to a 10 inch pot whose soil was also well nourished.

A problem was observed next day of transplantation,2 plants were with tared edges which was indication of birds attack.

So,i concluded that young plants be protected from birds attack as they are prone to them.

5 days after transplantion i observed that leaves of cocumber plants were turning yellow,i added sufficient neutrirnts as i was assuming that soil was depleting its nutrients.

Inspite of redemial actions for preventing birds attack and depleted nutrients supply,plants were turning yellow day by day and one after another.

I placed water containing plastic tray underneath the pot so that it may not get dry due to high sunlight.I also inserted bamboo sticks to make of barrier to birds attack.

Yellowness was due to high heat of summer sunlight which was not fit for young plants.

It is therefore recommended to place yong seedling in partial sunlight or partial shadow before plants get mature enough to be placed in full sunlight.
