Duckies!!
I planted some seeds in June and forgot about them for about three months. When I found the pot I planted them in with four seedlings in it, I figured I’d water it, fertilize it with compost, and talk to it to see what would happen. It kept growing. I’m pretty sure that the plants are tomatoes, from the looks of the leaves. The stalks at the very base of the plant (where the soil is) are purple. Is that normal? When should I make/buy cages for them? Thanks so much.
Tomatoes are usually very adaptive if you test the soil and prepare well. There are two main type: Determinant cultivars which grow to a certain height then stop growing to produce large quantity of fruit for a 4-6 week period and Indeterminant cultivars which produce fruit until frost. Tomatoes are tender perennials that can be cultivate all year long in your area. They require full sun and deep soil between 6.0 and 6.8 pH. They require a moderate levels of nitrogen and phosphorus and moderate to high levels of potassium and calcium. They enjoy full sun but not temperatures over 100 degree F. So plant them where they get morning sun and moderate shade at noon. Keep them moist but not drenched with water.
You pick your tomato plant based on taste and use i.e. Stewing, Sauce, Cherry, Beefsteak (sandwich) .
I’ve been growing tomatoes organically in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 26 years, in both cold coastal and warmer inland microclimates. Anything that works here will work better in San Bernardino County.
Here’s a list of my favorites:
Cherry tomatoes–‘Sweet 100’, ‘Sungold’, ‘Black Cherry’
Salad tomatoes–‘Carmello’, ‘Jewel Enchantment’, ‘Sweet Cluster’, ‘Early Girl’, ‘Valencia’, ‘Tomosa’, ‘Momatoro’
Beefsteak tomatoes–‘Big Beef’, ‘Caspian Pink’, ‘Nepal’, ‘Costoluto Genovese’
Paste tomatoes–‘San Marzano’
