Hello everyone, I could use some advice.
In spring i planted some tomatoes. I have never done outdoor gardening and I had no idea about tomatoes and I guess I didnt expect them to survive so I didnt even bother educating myself.
Despite my total neglect and ignorance, the plants are now taller than me and bearing a few green fruit and quite some flowers.
And I am hoping they can make some few red tomatoes and next year I will apply my lessons learned.
So some info:
- They are wild, I didnt know about pruning until few weeks ago. I have been removing suckers now.
- They are very root bound, as in the shortest is 5' (1,5m) tall and they are in one gallon containers. Yet they are still growing somehow!!
- They are now heavily flowering.
- They are in a foggy marine location, it never gets super hot or super cold and many mornings there is no sun.
So my questions:
- Are they beyond trying to save and should I just see if nature decides to ripen them.
- Should I transplant them or its too late.
- Should i trim the top so they stop growing and they focus on the fruit before its too late.
Thankyou so much for any tips
