tomato plants
This year I planted 14 tomato plants. They did very well at first,
but now have stopped growing. I have plenty of tomato's on them, but they dont' seem to be making any more, and the plants have died down a lot. It's been pretty wet in my garden, we've been getting a lot of rain.. Any suggestions? Thanks |

Any suggestions? What have the temps been? Cold and wet tomatoes aren't happy campers. If they are determinate tomato plants, then they'll get most (all?) of their tomatoes and stop growing. Indeterminate tomatoes keep growing until frost-killed (forever, in warm climates, I suppose - anyway, a long time). I usually have a pretty generous growing season, first frost some years isn't until almost Thanksgiving, but I find the most tomato plants seem to peter out by October at the latest, and a lot of those don't make it through the August heat.. A few will still be spitting out green tomatoes until the first hard freeze, but that's the exception rather than the rule. Russian Silvery Fur Tree tomatoes are one of my favorites for just that reason. They start producing early, take a break during the worst of the heat, then crank back up in September. Sadly, they have proved especially vulnerable to the biological weapons of the dastardly spit!Thrips. I didn't plant any this year as it seems an exercise in futility, but I know I'm gonna miss 'em come fall. Pam -- Tuba players are like the bikers of the band. -Dr. Mark Chachich |

tomato plants
My tomatoes always split open before they are ripe and then they rot. What
could be causing this? "JANEW." wrote in message ... Seems a bit early. Depending where you live, tomatoes shouldn t be transplanted out earlier than late April or May. Many people try planting tomatoes too early. A cold snap that hits after being transplanted can damage the plants roots and the plants will not grow well after that. rose wrote: I've just started my tomato seed indoors (zone 8). Each year, my tomato plants do not have that "thick trunk", like the tomato plants sold in stores. How do I grow tomato plants with thick trunks, for transplanting after frost? |
