Title: growing tomatos in turkey
Post by: sue mac on April 29, 2008, 21:12:01 PM

just reading a post there about tomato plants (I have just commenced growing my own in conservatory here in Liverpool!)- I am not due out to Turkey until end of May. Would it be possible to plant some tomato plants then? And if so, how soon would I get fruit? Our place will be occupied for at least four weeks from when I arrive, (then we would have to rely on the gardener or our good neighbours (Jo![ ;)) to water for a few weeks before we return for the whole month of August. It would be nice to have a ready supply of tomatos for the month of August....:P Thanks for any info.

Hi SueMac, think you would be lucky to get any tomato plants that late in the season but if you do then probably late August/early September.  Never know, weather is odd at the moment, not espcially hot so you may be lucky

Thank you Peecee. Bit surprised to hear of the "not especially hot" weather!! shant worry too much about the tomato plants, but hope the weather picks up - it seems to be hotter here in scousealand than out there at the moment!!

Does anyone know if there is anywhere to buy plum tomato seeds in the Fethiye or surrounding area? I've come across some but they were only sold them by the kg when I only wanted a few!

They sell them in the markets when they are about, they price them per kilo but you can buy what you want . ;)
