Hydroponic Tomatoes
I am growing a hydroponic tomato this year in my garden window.
The hydroponic tomato is blooming and putting on tomatoes. It is really thrilling for me everytime I grow one.
I use store bought nutrients, but this year I have made my own hydroponic system and so far it is doing great! I would love to get one of those fancy hydroponic set ups but unfortunately this year it just isn’t in the budget.
That really is the way to do it it, I am using a small decorative planter that has no holes for the base, and it will run dry quick on hot sunny days. So far, it has only happened once but I nearly lost the hydroponic tomato plant before it even started to bloom.
I really enjoy growing vegetables in the winter months. I know I should have started the hydroponic tomato late last summer, and I would be eating vine ripened tomatoes by now- late March.
I started the plant in January, so my hydroponic tomato is just now putting on tomatoes!
Oh well, I will still get to eat garden fresh tomatoes before my neighbors!
I am having a great time experimenting with my hydroponic tomato. I think some people really complicate the process. I am no rocket scientist, but I love to garden and I just adore fresh veggies.
I would encourage anyone to give this a try, if you don’t want to build a system from scratch; you can get some really great systems from Stealth Hydro at really low prices.
Give hydroponic tomatoes a try, you will love it!
