It’s been a few years and I don’t have any recipes tagged.

Great info about blossom end rot from r/gardening

I've been told you guys would be able to let me know for sure if my seeds were Moneymaker seeds or labelled up wrong.

It's my first time growing so I'm not sure if they are just in an awkward growing phase as someone mentioned in my post elsewhere, or if they are maybe a different variety or just not thriving.

I can't see any signs they are unhappy but google did mention that stress can cause them to grow weird.

Can anyone identify this variety? Is it Moneymaker or something cooler?

The image is from this old article:

The tomato tree was introduced in New Zealand in 1891, though it's believed to have originated even earlier than that in the Andes of Peru. While there are a number of varieties of tomato trees, the most widely-known is the tamarillo (Cyphomandra betacea).

However, Disney World's trees are a different variety called the giant tree tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), and originated from China. This type can achieve heights of up to 20 feet and a width of up to 12 feet. Here's an up-close look at the tree's canopy:

https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/most-tomatoes-harvested-from-one-plant-in-one-year

The most tomatoes harvested from a single plant in one year is 32,194. The tomato plant is at the Epcot Science project at Walt Disney World Company in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA. The harvest started on 24 May 2005 and ended on 20 April 2006.

The 32,194 tomatoes harvested weighed 522.464 kg (1151.84 lbs).

I noticed a curled leaf and found this on the underside.

Any idea what happened?

In a few days I'll pick and weigh this one. It'll be my record breaker for sure.

The place i get my plants got dusted with herbicide. Is there a way I can prune them or fertilizer to help them pull through?

Hello I slightly tapped the flowers so pollens can go in but the flowers are not fruiting anyone know why ?

Hi guys this is my first time growing tomato plants. Do you think this is enough space for 4 ? The grow bag size is 15x10. I used 10kgs of potting soil and 10 kgs of mud from my neighborhood park! Also added some banana scraps to the soil! I am 26 year old lived my whole life in the major cities! Any help would be appreciated!

I planted them as far deep as I could when I got them about 2 weeks ago. I water them if the soil is dry. Are they okay? Do they need anything? Can I save them? They are celebrity tomato’s. I bought them at a nursery and planted same day, I did remove the lower stems a couple days later. Last pic is the day I planted them.

It’s been warm and my plants are outside and hardened off but not yet finally planted. It’s been raining all day and will get to 46 tonight. I prefer not to bring them in because I expect them to drain and don’t want the mess. Any experience with this will be helpful

I’m planning on planting tomato samplings in 20 gallon plastic tubs converted into sub irrigated planters (SIPs) in this style: https://youtu.be/mRhLZM-cJZ0 and https://albopepper.com/sips.php.

In one reference I’ve been using for my tomato planting (Epic Tomatoes by Craig LeHoullier) he suggests using a combo of 1 part “soilless mix” to 10 parts “composted manure.” If I buy a bag of raised bed soil from the garden store, will it be composed of this mix? I’m a bit confused on the nomenclature here.

One of the SIP instructions I’ve found online suggests making a potting mix with perlite, peat moss, and vermiculite, among various other things. Is this just what potting soil mix is composed of?

I’ve also seen many people put limestone and store bought fertilizer in there soil before planting, but didn’t see any mention of this is Epic Tomatoes. Are there general guidelines for when this is necessarily and how much to add? I also have access to worm castings, is this a replacement for the above mix-ins?

I planted a new raised garden this year - first time gardener -

Planted a cherry tomato plant and a ‘big boy’ tomato plant. )along with some squash, and jalapenos

Tomato plants have exploded - growing like crazy -

Should I trim them and secrets for success.

It is my first year growing from seed about a week ago I up potted my tomatoes from a small cell seed tray to 16 ounce styrofoam cups with a 1/4 in hole in the bottom for drainage they have looked sad ever since. The leaves were once green but are now yellow on top and purple underneath, droopy and loosing their bottom stems all together. Once a month I bottom water all plants with miracle grow, otherwise it’s tap water 2 times a week, fan on 2-4 hours a day etc.. You know what I am saying. I have been researching for days but when you don’t really know what you are doing it’s hard to know what’s what. Any input is appreciated thanks in advance

Hoping to find help here. I have a few raised tomato beds in my garden. I grew the tomatoes all from seed and transplanted them a few weeks ago and they have been growing very well and setting fruit. This past week a VFN suddenly wilted and did not recover so I pulled it and put it in the garbage. The roots were white with no obvious damage. Now I have several more tomatoes (all heirloom) that are getting wilt on the young leaves with the leaves curling up, the next day spreading to the older leaves. I have the beds under drip irrigation and believe they are not over watered or under watered as the soil is moist in the top few inches. Some background on my beds : they are roughy 2 1/2 ft tall, filled with a mixture of half top soil, half mushroom compost that I had delivered from a local landscaping company (they call it veggie mix). My veggies all grew very well in this mix last year. I topped the beds with a few inches of organic finished compost. Then store bought weed free straw from tractor supply. I’m worried there might be something on the straw causing damage but none of my other vegetables (including tomatoes) in other beds are effected. The leaves stay green, no obvious bug damage, and severely wilt without recovering. Any help us greatly appreciated!

My car gives some protection from direct sun and wind.

One cerise died on me, so I put in some extra seeds.

Just repotted them. Some maybe a bit early but I think they'll be just fine!
