I've never sprayed tomatoes before, just figured if I get a crop then that's
great. However as finances get tighter and mobility more limited I can't
afford to put the effort in for little or no return so will have to learn to
work out what the trouble is (if any) and sort it out this year.


i would try cherry tomatoes and varieties geared
towards patio growers. as of yet the cherry tomato
variety sweet 100 has been reliable. last year was
our worst for the large tomato harvest, but the
sweet 100s did ok. the plants do get big, but they
flop down if you don't stake them up so you can
work from the side or underneath if you have to.
