【トマト】知らなきゃ危険。それ取ると後悔します。昔の農家さんが見ていた本当の合図【家庭菜園】

Do you remove tomato leaves, side shoots, and flowers every time you find them? Actually, this can sometimes reduce your tomato harvest. In this video, we'll discuss common mistakes in home tomato gardening, specifically regarding leaf removal, side shoot removal, flower thinning, and pinching off growing points. Tomatoes don't necessarily grow better just by being pruned. For large tomatoes, it's sometimes better to remove small fruits that develop late or flowers that are a burden on the plant. However, with cherry tomatoes, even small flowers that bloom at the end of the cluster will later turn into red fruits, which can be a valuable harvest in home gardens. Also, removing too many healthy green leaves can reduce the plant's ability to develop fruit, leading to small fruits, fruits that don't redden, are prone to cracking, and have a weak flavor. Side shoots aren't all bad, though. When the plant becomes too thick, leaving one side shoot can help distribute the tomato's energy and stabilize the plant. Furthermore, prematurely stopping the growth point can make the fruit more prone to splitting after rain. In the past, farmers prioritized observing the tomato plant over speed. Are there enough leaves? Is the plant too strong? Are the fruits becoming too heavy? Should I leave the flowers? They would decide whether to remove or leave based on these small signs. In home gardening, while learning the correct techniques is important, even more important is carefully observing the tomato plant in front of you.
