Re: My tomatoes 2025
Welcome to the forum @TundeOladepo . 60-90 days from seed is a pretty awesome timeline for ripe fruit.
I believe I have seed of Golden Nugget, and I might try them too, since I'm quite late getting started.
Conditions here are probably as different from yours as it can be. Still, I've learned a shocking amount of useful things from growers in other regions with very different climates.
I read an article some time ago, about the use of row cover in Nigeria to reduce disease and water stress? And another one about intercropping with beans. There's always interesting research and innovation going on around the world.

Re: My tomatoes 2025
The Czech dwarf from Moravoseed has grown so much that I had to transplant it into a larger 5-liter bucket. I will transplant other dwarfs next week: 2 pcs of GG'S Glory, 2 pcs of PA'S Pride, Aztek and Vilma. They are all set to flower. I am not in a hurry to transplant them because in case of frosty nights it is easier for me to harvest plants in 0.5-liter pots than in 5-liter buckets. My Venus died, I only saved the top and had it rooted. I'm waiting to see what will come of it.

Re: My tomatoes 2025
Hello, I want to ask why the top leaves of this tomato plant are curling up like this?

I don't see any twisted leaves there.

Re: My tomatoes 2025
Nice crop but some of these plants seem too large for such small containers. At what point do they get replanted into something larger?

Re: My tomatoes 2025
Ya if it were me I’d transplant some of the larger plants to bigger pots. But Vladimir is no rookie so we have to give him his respect. I think he mentions that he is going to trans plant some of them to bigger containers.

Re: My tomatoes 2025
All these tomatoes are Micro Dwarfs. Plant height is about 40 cm. I assume that the 5 liters for the root system is adequate for that height. In any case, this applies to the Czech ones - Vilma, Aztek and Venus. The only exception is Bajaja, for which significantly larger containers are recommended, up to 40 liters. The two selections from Heide Dolan are also Micro, so I assume that the buckets would be suitable for them too. Otherwise, I don't expect a big harvest, I just started growing them to have some fun and joy during my recovery from knee surgery.

Re: My tomatoes 2025
I’ve been growing tomatoes a very long time but never grew any Micro varieties. Back in 2017 and 2018 I grew some Dwarf varieties but I have no knowledge or experience with the micro tomatoes. I’m sure with all your years of experience you will figure it out. I hope your knees are getting back to almost normal.

Re: My tomatoes 2025
You’re plants looks really good micro dwarf tomatoes are just different height how they look I can grow 2 of the same varieties and sometimes they look really different.
