What is also puzzling is that some plants are doing much better than ones right next to it! They all received the same amount of water. Someone told me there was "tomato blight" (not sure what that is) this year. We also had a record cold July, which didn't help I'm sure. Did anyone else experience this? Kris Late blight struck ours but many had already ripened by then, or were near ripe. I canned several dozen quarts, pints and half pints of sauce. I'll have enough to last us over a year. The freezer is full of greens and peppers. Also canned many quarts and pints of green and wax beans. Interesting. I live in an area that isn't great for tomatoes, although one of the biggest US tomato growing areas is less than 100 miles away. This year our big tomatoes ripened first, early and often. The first year I grew big tomatoes, they didn't ripen until November, and they were horrible ugly due to cracks and deformities. They are perfect this year. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California USA I live in Southern Ontario, Canada. Our tomatoes are just finally ripening and the skins are fairly tough. Long cold summer. -- mompeagram FERGUS/HARLINGEN http://mompeagram.homestead.com |
