Garden Update - Tomatoes (Eng & Spa)

avatar
(Edited)

I love tomatoes! I would eat them all year round if I could, but unfortunately in Germany, they are a luxury that we can only enjoy in the summer. Sure, you can get them in the fall and winter too, but they just don't taste the same. That is the reason why we usually try to grow our own tomatoes in our garden.

¡Me encantan los tomates! Si pudiera los comería el año entero, pero lamentablemente en Alemania son un lujo del cual sólo podemos disfrutar en el verano. Claro, también se pueden conseguir en el otoño y el invierno, pero simplemente no saben igual. Ese es el motivo por el cual intentamos cultivar nuestros propios tomates en nuestro jardín.

However this year for reasons that I will not mention in this post, we decided not to plant tomatoes. To our surprise, the tomatoes had another idea in mind. In a section of our garden where I was planning to grow corn, which didn't work out, different kinds of plants began to sprout. This is because the different seeds from the kitchen scraps that we mixed with our Compost began to sprout spontaneously. In the image above you can see a mixture of Tomatoes, Mustard, a type of Wild Potato, Sunflowers, different Herbs, etc.

Sin embargo este año por motivos que no mencionaré en esta publicación, decidimos no plantar tomates. ¡Cuál sería nuestra sorpresa al ver que los tomates tenían otra idea en mente. En una sección de nuestro jardín en donde planeaba cultivar maíz, lo cual no funcionó, comenzaron a brotar plantas de diferentes tipos. Esto debido a que las diferentes semillas de los restos de cocina que mezclamos con nuestro Compost comenzaron a brotar espontaneamente. En la imagen arriba podemos ver una mezcla de Tomates, Mostaza, un tipo de Papa silvestre, Girasoles, diferentes Hierbas, etc.

In the following three images you can see some of the tomato plants that have been resilient and have sprouted in my garden.

En las siguientes tres imágenes pueden ustedes observar algunas de las plantas de Tomates que han sido resilientes y que han brotado por mi jardín.

In our Terrace - En nuestra terraza

In this photograph you can see one of the first tomato plants that I identified in the garden. Initially, I ignored it, since we had no plans to grow Tomatoes, but seeing that it grew strong and lush, I couldn't ignore it anymore. So I looked for the best pot available, I used the best soil from our Compost and placed it on our sunny Terrace.

En esta fotografía pueden ver una de la primera de las plantas de Tomate que identifique en el jardín. Inicialmente la ignore, puesto que no teníamos planes de cultivar Tomates, pero al ver que crecía fuerte y frondosa, pues no la pude ignorar más. Así es que busqué la mejor maceta disponible, utilicé la mejor tierra de nuestro Compost y la coloqué en nuestra soleada terraza.

On our Terrace it gets the right amount of sun all day, but it's also close to us. That way I can take better care of her. Sure, when the time comes the little tomatoes will be around for a quick harvest.

En nuestro Terraza recibe la correcta cantidad de sol el día entere, pero también estra cerca de nosotros. De esa forma puedo cuidarla mejor. Claro, cuando llegué el tiempo los tomatitos estarán cerca para una rápida cosecha.

So far everything has been perfect. So far this plant has already produced about 30 tomatoes, and more are on the way. Below you can appreciate them.

Hasta ahora todo ha salido perfecto. Hasta ahora esta planta ya ha producido cerca de 30 tomates, pero más están en vías de desarrollo. A continuación podrán apreciarlos.

And here are samples of both, so far, flower clusters that will soon produce more tomatoes. I estimate that between the two of them they will also produce about 30 pieces. My mouth is already watering.

Y aquí les dejo muestras de los dos, hasta ahora, racimos de flores que pronto producirán más tomates. Calculo que entre los dos producirán también cerca de 30 piezas. ¡Ya se me hace agua la boca.

I continue to properly fertilize the plant, I make sure it doesn't lack water, but it doesn't have too much either. The plant, as well as the others in the garden, looks healthy and keep on growing. In a few days I will give you another update. Thank you for visiting my blog!

Yo continuo fertilizando adecuadamente la planta, me aseguro de que no le falta, pero tampoco que tenga demasiada agua. La planta, también las otras en el jardín, se ve saludables y sigue creciendo. Dentro de pocos días les daré otra actualización. ¡Gracias por visitar mi Blog!

Thank you very much! I hope to harvest some wild tomatoes pretty soon.

Yes, I live in Germany. I knew there is a german speaking community, but didn't know it was so strong. I will give it a try. Thanks for the tip!

I come originally from Mexico, but been here for over twenty years. Ich spreche und schreibe Deutsch, aber ein bisschen Hilfe kann nicht schaden. Danke für den Ratschlag!

I remember a similar thing with my grandmother, one year she did not plant any new tomatoes, yet still some grew!

Yes! I love it!

I discover a few more yesterday, but too small. I don't think they'll produce anything. But the other will. 🍅🍅🍅🤗

We used to grow them, but the dogs loved them, and stole them from the tomato plants🤣🤣🤣
You are right, they are so tasty though, so enjoy the ones you get😁

hehe and they were Alaskan Malamutes so very big dogs, acting all petite to gently pull the tomatoes off the plant, they did the same to the strawberries!
