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.

Thanks. Most years I grow at least one cherry tomato plant but last year
didn't. I won't make that mistake again. (I have seeds that I've kept from
previous years and have been trying to grow some inside under lights - as
I've been talking about in another thread.)
