I have a 6ft cherry(?) tomato plant that, although covered in fruit at
various stages of ripeness, all of it's leaves have died. This plant
receives a deep soaking with a sprinkler set low right next to the stem &
allowed to spray water for about 15 mins twice a week. It also has a mulch
of rotted grass clippings & horse manure. The plant receives full sun
throughout most of the day. I live in Perth & the soil is the usual grey
sand. Any ideas what is happening to the plant? Is it dying? It was always
supposed to be a temporary plant & I suppose I shouldn't be disappointed
since it self-seeded, but it's still a bit of a let-down since I get a
thrill out of plants self-seeding in my garden since it generally means that
birds visit it. I used to get all kinds of plants self-seeding in my old
garden, one in particular looked like a bacon & egg plant, but I'm not so
sure was... Anyway, back to the tomatoes, any ideas?
