time from flower to fruit
I know that the answer to this question varies, but am curious as to your general experiences.
I don't think I've ever kept track of days from sexually mature flower to mature fruit. Needless to say, this time is shorter for smaller tomatoes, but what are your experiences? ALSO needless to say, I am asking because my first plants are starting to flower. AGP is in the lead for big tomatoes...very exciting indeed. It is however still shooting blanks as a side note, the growth habit and sturdiness of my AGPs is quite impressive....I bet a PL dwarf with AGP as a parent would be a sight for sore eyes. |

shake 'em
You might try shaking the plant or 'tickling' the blossoms. I learned that here and it has really decreased the blossom drop.
I planted out 2/21 and have first fruit today on OSU blue, Sweet Carneros Pink and Grub's Mystery Green. I've been shaking them everyday and we have had some good wind. These are all first blossoms setting. Unusual experience for me - Thank You Tomatoville. |
