I was a little surprised that this one isn't as round as my first one. In fact, this second one is a little pointy at the bottom, looking like a chubby short strawberry shape... Will see how long it will take this one to change colour. The first one took around one month!!

Normally, from the photos I have seen online, tomato plants usually develop several tomatoes at any one time, but mine only grows one at a time... is it because it is under-nourished?? At most, I feed it with liquid seaweed spray every two weeks or so, but since it is now developing fruit, I haven't been doing so as I didn't want anything to go on the fruit.
Another reason for not simultaneously developing several fruits at a time may be because it is not getting enough sun on my part shade balcony??
Or... was it because a previous powdery mildew attack has stunted its growth?
hmm... try putting broken egg shells in the soil...if u are worry about affecting the developing fruit.
ReplyDeleteI have googled on the use of egg shells and found that it actually takes a long time for the egg shells to break down in soil, so it's not a quick fertiliser.
