Too early?
2 of 12 tomato plants have flowers. They dont have but 3 rows of stalks in
circumference around main stalk. Seems this is too early compared to my crop last year. They were alot taller, more stalks and leaves too. ??? -- Dave |

If they're leggy and pale give them more sun and some decent fertilizer. |

They are wide open to the sun 9-6 right now. Must be doing something right here, vs. last year. Except for the 1 fighting the remnants of leaf blight, all are fine. -- Dave Apathy and denial are close cousins |

I'm growing my tomatoes in pots this year, however, and haven't found quite the right spot in the yard to give the tops 8 hours of sun without cooking the pots. Gotta remember to feed 'em today, too... |

My cherry toms (sweet 100 and an unknown 'grape' cluster cherry) are
now starting to be covered with tiny fruit, and are still growing like mad. They're only about 2.5' tall so far. I've got a big batch of Soilsoup brewing, I'm going to drench everything on Monday when it's ripe. loyd |

I adore this weather, but it is going to get very hot all at once and if night temps stay above 75 degrees, no fruit will set. I did try a new variety heirloom this year called 'Mexico.' I bought a few plants at "Gardens" on 38th street. It may be wishful thinking on my part that being called "Mexico" will indicate it will set fruit in the heat. The ONLY thing I miss about living in New York are my 'Brandywine' tomatoes. Question: What are you calling "Soilsoup?" |
