| Mr.
Ugly is a fantastic tomato for all gardeners to grow because,
although he's ugly, he's also a very strong, top-performing
variety that rewards efforts with a big bold tomato taste. |
| |
|
Position: The
sunniest place you can find.
|
|
Height: I'll get
at least 5 feet and like to be staked.
|
|
Spacing: If
you put a few of me in, leave a few feet between us.
|
|
Music: Mozart,
heavy metal (to toughen me up), or Smashing Pumpkins
cause I love doing that in my spare time.

Prepare some nice soil
for me - chicken manure, blood and bone, compost or
anything else high in Nitrogen. This will really get
me going ! If you plant me in a pot - use some decent
potting mix so I drain well, and put me in a nice big
tub. That's what you'd want.
|
| |
|
Plant me as soon as you
can, watering me in well. Put the stake in soon so you
don't damage my rooting ability later on. Give me as
much support as you can both mentally and physically.
As I grow, I like to be tied up with old stockings cause
they don't cut into me and cause they're a bit stretchy.

If I come in a brown
biodegradable pot you can tap the pot on a hard surface
to split its sides open a bit. Then you can plant me
and the pot together ! Its as easy as 123.

I recommend you pinch
out some of my early sideshoots. These grow in between
my stem and leaves. It will get me to concentrate on
growing some really strong branches above.

I'm a hungry little fella,
so plenty of plant food rich in potassium to help me
fruit, and calcium to make my bones strong. I like the
stuff you mix in water and can drink buckets of the
stuff, but maybe only once a week or so.
|
| |
|
Talk to me at least once
a week. That way i'll feel less ostricised and the neigbour
next door will probably start to mind their own business
- for once.

|
If you got this far you
are a legend ! You deserve some really ugly fruit, and
I hope it goes a long way to making you feel more attractive
- ya big spunk !

See ya !
