First Experience Growing Tomatoes

hi, all steem friends ..
I again try gardening because it turns out the use of pesticides in our country, it passes the threshold, just worth a lot of strange and dangerous diseases such as cancer.

This reason is the first motivation I tried to grow vegetables that I often consumed, now that I again planted tomatoes because we consume them every day. According to research it turns out tomatoes is one of the vegetables with high residue content of pesticides because many use pesticides in the stage of planting. Imagine how high the residue in our body if we consume it every day.

Seeds

Actually I want to plant cherry tomatoes but nyari seeds difficult when in my opinion cherry tomatoes are more delicious if eaten directly, more easily planted and the most fun fruit in a tree. Well this is the problem, crazy hard to find cherry tomato seeds in Bandung (either I do not know where to buy and seldom do sell hobby packaging for tomatoes). After searching in agricultural shops in Bandung was not there, in Lembang also no ga. Finally half the despair of the seeds I was looking for the smallest size (although not the cherry tomatoes and its contents much anyway).

Planting

After being able to seed, want to plant where the tomato because it must get direct sunlight at least 8 hours, canceled deh nanam on the veranda. The original intention still nanam there, all the land in the house has become a building, which is empty just clothes clothes and finally decided where the tomatoes will be planted. Since baseball is no money to buy pots that fit the standard and beautiful, finally a bucket in the house that I sacrifice and some pots of thousands of thousands of streets in Punclut.

Media planting buy in one of the farm shops, frankly the cost of buying media more expensive planting of pots and seeds. Later I want to learn to make my own, but he said the planting media that already exist plusin manure or compost alone but still in the end must be replaced.

So start my journey to plant tomatoes on the roof of a narrow house. With a bit of luck finally the tomato that bear fruit as well (run out of heavy rain every day). Frankly I love this tomato finally bear fruit, I once planted sansivera, red betel and polia but it all slaughtered my dog. In other words this is my first planting fruit and can be eaten anyway.

This photograph when the tomato began to show some of the candidates of fruit, small round green light that will grow into a red tomato fruits.

After all the fruit is formed looks tempting. The tomato candidate I will enjoy and will surely be a very good sambel. I consider this as organic tomatoes because they do not use pesticides although still given NPK fertilizer also when flowering, because my father said haranya will not be enough, though I am sure can really with compost only.

Probably because this hybrid tomato so uniform growth and have immunity against certain diseases. Not bad for a beginner like me to prevent my first vegetable crop failing. Oh yes tomatoes are categorized vegetables to facilitate marketing when scientifically categorized as fruit.

It's starting to look when the tomatoes start flushing and can already be used for cooking if needed, and it's right if you want to make sambal ijo. It's a name to save money and have fun at the same time.

Perhaps because the type of tomatoes determinate the tomatoes ripe in the adjacent period. So that the harvest is quite abundant at the same time. Lose the speed we spend it with the speed of ripe fruit, until I diligently drink tomato juice and make tomato sugar so unfortunately if the tomato is wasted and it tastes better than the tomatoes in the market because it is ripe in the tree.

If by chance you harvest the tomatoes at the same time can be frozen if you want. Although the shape is not known when liquefied but the taste of tomatoes remain awake and still tasty. If frozen tomatoes for juice may be more suitable because there is no need to add ice cubes just make sure you cut them into small pieces before freezing them so the blender is easier to destroy them.

Happy gardening and enjoy your crops :)
