Fall Tomato Care

Tomato plants supported by vertical strings on a Freyr trellis.
There are very few vegetable gardens without tomato plants. Unless you’re allergic, it’s hard to imagine why you wouldn’t want them. A healthy tomato plant is beautiful, bountiful and provides a quality of fruit that is virtually impossible to get from a store (although possible to get from a farm stand). Regardless of the length of your tomato harvest season, it’s always a priority to extend it as much as possible.
Unlike some other crops (looking at you green beans) that you may eventually tire of before they’ve finished producing, there is always more room for fresh tomatoes. It begs the question, now that the end of the season is in sight, how do I make the most of my tomato plants?
Cutting off a late-season shoot that won’t have time to develop fruit. These indeterminate tomatoes are supported by compostable twine and clips, and hanging from a trellis.
Late-season blossom and shoot removal: tomatoes come in two general categories, determinate and indeterminate. Determinate tomatoes are shorter plants that ripen all of their fruit in a narrow window, perfect for canning and storage. Indeterminate types are the ones that outgrow your tomato cage by about four feet and try to take over the entire garden. Besides roma and other types of plum tomatoes, most tomatoes planted in the home garden fall into the indeterminate category. By definition, these plants never stop growing, at least until cold weather or blight comes calling.

How To Grow And Care For An Apricot Tree
Apricot (Prunus armeniaca) trees produce delicious fruit in summer and growing your own means the fruit can be enjoyed when they are sweet and meltingly ripe, unlike shop-bought fruit, which must be harvested early to be transported while firm. Apricot trees can be grown successfully outside in warmer parts of the UK, notably the south-east of England. Elsewhere, because the beautiful pink blossom is borne in early spring and is therefore liable to frost damage, only grow apricots in large pots and keep under cover for the colder months. When planted in the right conditions, an apricot tree should start producing fruit within two or three years and live for decades.
