Picture sinking your pearly white’s in to a home picked, beautifully ripe, delicious and organically grown tomato, with all the juice running down your chin. Yummy!
With organic tomato gardening, you can leave behind those shop-bought tomatoes with tough skins, and tasteless, pale flesh. Whenever tomatoes are home grown without chemicals and therefore are naturally ripened, you can pluck a tomato off your own plant and eat it without washing it to get rid of chemicals.
These days everyone is becoming progressively more aware and concerned with the importance of their health. Due to this world-wide shift in awareness, a growing number of people right around the globe are selecting to explore the alternative of growing their own organic veg and fruits, including organic tomato gardening. Tomatoes will grow in just about any type of soil and after the frosts are gone.
Organic tomato gardening in your backyard is incredibly straightforward:
First decide where you want to place your tomato bed, ensuring it is in a sunny position and away from trees and shrubs, which tend to rob the soil of the nutrition you will need for your crops. Tomatoes like six to eight hrs of sun each day.
Second, dig over the ground and apply some well rotted compost and manure. If you don’t curently have any on hand, you can buy bags of compost and manure from your Garden Nursery. Rake over your garden bed and leave for a week or so.
Third is to decide which variety of tomato you would like to grow. The small cocktail ones that do well in garden pots, or the plum shaped ones, or maybe even the big beefsteak types. There are lots of varieties to choose from that are suitable for organic tomato gardening.
Additionally, you will need a few garden stakes to support your plants as they grow. You can grow from seed or buy seedlings which will save you some time – that’s what I like to do.
Right after going to your Garden Nursery to select the seedlings you need for your organic tomato gardening, the fourth step is to plant them out, sticking to the directions that come with the container. Usually you’d plant your tomatoes about two to two and a half feet apart and hammer in a stake alongside to support your plant as they grow heavy and laden with fruit.
Almost done – right now you need to water your plants in well, then stand back and enjoy your own handiwork.
Make sure you keep the ground damp although not soggy and finally when the plants are about six weeks old, it’s a good time to then add cow tea.
This is made by placing about a quarter of a bucketful of cow manure into an old used bucket, fill it up with water, stir and leave to “brew” for a week or two. Pour off about a quarter of the ‘tea’ right into a watering can, fill with water and apply to the tomatoes.
You’ll be surprised at how well your tomatoes will love cow tea and respond. Stand back and wait for your first batch of organic tomatoes to ripen. Conserve the remainder of the cow tea to use again in another two to three weeks, always diluting it, or water it into other garden beds.
My personal favorite tomato recipe is to toast some bread, spread with butter, then add slices of tomato plus some freshly chopped basil. Season with some salt and pepper. Enjoy – this is simply delicious! Absolutely nothing is better than the fresh, full flavor of home grown tomatoes from organic tomato gardening.
