They were growing normal all season and just noticed now towards the end of my season they started to curl like some sort of pepper.

Bottoms of my Purple Cherokees - very late season! 6b, slightly north of Boston. Pulled them due to the frost we had, and, never expected them to ripen anyway. But, the starburst is unusual, and pretty😃 Anyone else see this on Purple Cherokee?

I have no idea what I am doing

3 Upvotes

midlands of SC. My wife wanted a tomato plant so we have just one to see how it goes. it got big, flowered, produced some tomatoes and then starting wilting and looking droopy and sad. it was starting to get out of the summer season and get a little colder and so I did no research and cut it back towards the base of the stems. I figured that was it for the season, now it has grown back to about 3 feet high and is starting to flower again, though the temperatures are really starting to drop, about 50 at night and somewhere between 65-75 during the day and obviously itll only get colder.

Like i mentioned i have no idea what i am doing so please someone provide some guidance.

Do i move it into the garage? will that be warm enough? do i just leave it? will it then come back next year? keep watering it and see what happens? any guidance would be great

I snipped all the green bunches ahead of the frost. This surprise had lots of fruit. As a first time grower, this vine seemed surprisingly thick and sturdy.

Any suggestions on what to do with the vine now? Snip it or let it die on its own or something else?

I have a few tomato plants growing in my tent, and today when I took them out to water them, I noticed one had odd coloring on some of the newer growth. Is this normal? (It's a cherry tomato plant) I'm growing in Hawaii while I'm stationed out here.

Is desi Tomato better than hybrid Tomatoes?

4 Upvotes

So, I've recently started living alone and find it quite hard to distinguish between desi and hybrid, so usually I buy whichever I think is fresh and at a good price. However my mom kept insisting hybrid Tomatoes can lead to kidney stores, I did search online about it but couldn't find anything reliable enough to conclude she's correct.

So, i just wanna ask y'all, is that really the case or is this the usual routine of myths indian moms believe in?

Question Variety pick for eastern KS and western MO

4 Upvotes

I'm trying to do better than last year so I'm going to buy seeds and grow them myself. Does anyone have experience in my area and can recommend varieties? I will grow Sun Sugar as my cherry and probably Cherokee Purple. I plant 7ish total, 4 for sauce, 1 salad/slicer, 1 cherry, and 1 or 2 heirlooms.

The heat has just screwed up production from July 15 to Sept 1.

Plant Help Should I remove the tomato?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi! My English isn't very good, so please excuse me if I make any mistakes.

I planted this tomato plant at the beginning of summer. It's currently almost 20 cm tall, and it's already grown this tomato. I know it's in a small pot, but it's been raining a lot in my area lately, and I was waiting for the rain to stop so I could move it to a bigger pot.

I wanted to know if it's producing fruit while still so small because of the limited space, or if it's normal for tomatoes to start growing this early. If it's not normal, should I remove the tomato and let the plant grow a bit bigger first?

Thank you Rabbits

A few months ago, Rabbits got into our Tomato garden and ate a few.

No big deal, their cute.

They pooped all over with tomatoe seeds. So we let it go and see what happens.

Some grew then died or got eaten by Rabbits, again.

Then we saw one that had potential so we place a cage and stick to embrace the main trunk

Behold....

Beefsteak. What happened here? Fasciation?

Noticed this beefsteak had a very thick looking stalk with lots of flowers crammed together. Some of the flowers unfurled, the rest turned into... This. 😂

It's still early days for this one, I'm going to keep it on the plant for science. I have 3 other Beefsteaks so no worries on a smaller yield by keeping this monster.
