@happy.smallholding: 3 tips to maximise your tomato crop before it gets chilly in the UK! It’s all about encouraging the plant to put its energy into ripening the fruit above anything else. 🍅 Cut off all the leaves! Trust me, they will survive it and removing the leaves will direct the plants’ energy into ripening the fruit. 🍅 Pick off the teeny tomatoes - they are diverting energy from ripening the bigger ones, but they are too small to ripen before the winter. 🍅 Pick the fruit as soon as it’s ripe. Again, diverting energy and you don’t want to waste a single tomato at this time of year! #tomatoes #gyo #growyourown #growyourownfood #selfsufficient #homestead #smallholding #garden #lovegardening #kitchengarden #veggarden
