I brought back some tomatoes from my last trip to Cameron Highlands. The tomatoes were bigger than the cherry tomatoes and I took some seeds from a tomato to sow in my garden.
I wanted to try because the tomatoes were of a different specie.
Tomato plants are prone to pest, especially the white powdery type of pest.
My tomato plants started off very healthy.
They started to flowers.
A close up of the pretty yellow tomato flowers.
Due to the heavy rain and insufficient fertilizer, plants yielded very few tomatoes.
The tomatoes could be easily counted. There were lots of flowers but very few tomatoes.
Can you see the green veins on the tomato?
A beautiful gold tomato!
From gold to orang red with green veins.
From the plant to the mouth.
From these batch, I only managed to harvest a handful of tomatoes.
All too soon, the tomato plants were infested with this white pests. I waited for the rest of the tomatoes on the plants to ripen before I pulled out the diseased plants.

I love cherry tomatoes. Try to grow from seeds but not successful.

ReplyDeleteIt will be a blessing!
DeleteOMG! Golden tomato! Nice!
ReplyDeleteThe white gardenia flower is so gorgeous!
Thank you, Libby!
DeleteCan Golden tomato be eaten? LOL! Your green thumb has the magic touch to turn the tomato into golden colour, hee hee!
ReplyDeleteIt is edible because not real god nugget! Lol!
DeleteWe have trouble with blight here on our tomatoes which also effects potatoes and grapes. The latter is a big problem which they have to control well being a wine producing country. We have many types of tomatoes here of varioua colours, I am inclined to keep to the ordinary ones though I have grown yellow ones. Have a good week Diane
ReplyDeleteI think we have problem with blight too...it can be very disappointing to have the healthy plants attacked.
DeleteInteresting post dear! thanks for sharing xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beauty!
DeleteThe flowers are a cheerful sight!
ReplyDeleteThank you, William!
DeleteMy husband is very attentive to his tomato plants, watering them every day. The flowers are just developing and there are a few tiny tomatoes. We look forward to harvesting them later in the year. Whilst my husband looks after the vegetables I'm enjoying the flowers indoors and outside. Your peace flowers and gardenias are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI must learn to give more attention to my edibles in the garden like your husband. I think mine is lacking in care and attention.
DeleteI have tomato plants in my garden also!!!
ReplyDeleteYours are great
kisses
I think the weather here is too warm for the tomato plants.
DeleteIf you didn't mention, I will have mistaken the golden tomato to be cherry tomato...
ReplyDeleteI thought so too but was informed that they are not cherry tomatoes.
DeleteLa gardenia es de mis flores favoritas. Besitos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa!
DeleteMy tomato plants are still in baby state.. :)
ReplyDeleteHope your tomato plants will grow healthy and fruitful!
DeleteTomatoes are loved by us and so many other creatures, i hope you have better luck next time.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty flowers!
I don't know whether I will grow tomoto again! Maybe!
DeleteEnjoyed seeing your step by step photos of the tomatoes. IN our area we get these tomatoes very often and the plant grows quickly and healthy...
ReplyDeleteThe weather condition is not so suitable for tomato plants.
DeleteI'm envious of your green thumb!
ReplyDeleteThank you, but sometimes I have failed projects too!
DeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteHello, home grown tomatoes are the best. Yum! Sorry your harvest was more plentiful. Your flowers are gorgeous. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen! Have a happy day!
DeleteThe Gold Tomato looks so precious before it turned orange red. The white flower looks so creamy white.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun!
DeleteThat's my problem also.. not much harvest before something happens to the plant.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I am not keen to grow tomatoes again.
DeleteNice series towards the harvest of tomatoes and I really love the light over the yellow tomato! Pretty while lilies and rose
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan!
