I am in Northern NJ and this is the best year I have ever had for
tomatoes. No cracking, no blossom rot, unusually huge and sweet yields
of several different varieties. Some were grown in large tubs and
others directly in the garden.

It's been tomato heaven up here.

Boron,
Let me ask, did you do a lot of watering this year?
How about fertiziling?

I'm trying to figure out why my garden produced such small
tomatoes this year. I know I didn't water enough and I also
didn't add any side feedings of 10-10-10 fertilizer to each plant
in July as I usually do. Then there is the fact that in April I added
about a 10 gallon container of wood & coal ashes to my 100 sq ft
garden plot and turned it into the soil before planting. My Garden
started great with 6 foot tomato plants and 3 foot pepper plants
by early July. But the fruits were only about half the size of
previous year. Hmmmmmmmmm.
