I've grown them every year with them behaving and bearing well. But then
I get mine at Millennium Farms, a local greenhouse whose business is based
on Mennonite growing principals and never, ever using chemicals. They
sell heirloom herbs and veggies . . . and guarantee their plants, can't
get much better than that. Did you purchase yours at a local greenhouse
or a large store? Next year, maybe start some from seed and see what
happens. It just doesn't make sense that the one variety would falter
when your others do well.

One cannot go by my tomato plant experience, however, as no one else near
me has the luck (or the tomato plants) that I do. The ones I plant
outside the yard are usually average, but they don't get as much water as
the ones in the garden. We had a meeting at a garden club member's house
yesterday; she was bragging about how well her tomato plants were growing.
When we looked at them, I stayed politely quiet since her largest one was
about the same size as my smallest one that has actually been planted in
the ground. This garden is blessed for certain because it sure isn't my
knowledge or skill!!! The thing I do is keep it all natural and it
rewards me tenfold. I know it's just plain dumb luck, but I (and my
family and friends) will keep enjoying the run as long as it lasts
(hopefully the rest of my life!).

Thanks Glenna but is wasn't me. I guess I cut a little yoo much in my
reply. I t went like ths:

I have an odd behaving tomato bush, actually two. Two of them are
Mr.Stripy
from HomeDepot which I put in the ground at the end of April with many
other
varieties. Just yesterday, I noticed that the two Stripies have ZERO
fruit. Zero flowers. They are sitting in the same row as many other
varieties which have set fruit a long time ago which has already
ripened.
All the tomatoes are planted in the same soil so it's not as if it's
growing
in pure Nitrogen :*). I've never seen anything like it, but I'm curious
how
this could happen and has anyone seen this kind of behavior from a
tomato
plant before.

Any ideas?
