My tomato plants look like sh!t . leaves curled almost like rolled tobacco but there are new blooms everywhere. New little tomatoes on every vine. I tried watering the hell out of them and that didn't do anything so I stopped watering for a couple of days and they still look bad. What can I say I got 10 nice ripe tomatoes tonight that are about the size of a baseball. Also the taste is great and they slice very good.

I had a bad year also with my tomatoes. Celebrities and Romas. Planted 11 plants. 3 Roma's never produced a single Tomato. Everything else was stunted, but produced. The tomatoes were very small though. Last year I killed it. Had a great year. This year, not so much.

What type of Roma's did you plant? I planted Nano, Viva Italia and a common. All have done well. I was really impressed with the Nano's. They shot off a lot of new growth and blooms a couple weeks ago with the cooler temps and rain. Got 2.5" of rain today so we will see how they do. The Viva and Common are going downhill, but I expect that this time of year. Walmart had a couple common Bonnie Roma's a few weeks ago. I planted those to go into fall. They are looking good so far. I planted 4 Roma's total in spring. I've processed and frozen enough to make about 48-54 pints of salsa.

How do you keep the critters out of your figs? I have given up due to squirrels and birds.

Don't really know. They were Chef Jeff's that I got at Calloways. Where are you getting your Viva Italia?

I grow from seed. Ordered the Viva from Anderson's.

Ordered the Nano from Reimer.

If you order from Reimer and like Jalapeno's add the Goliath to your order. Growing them this year. Probably the best peno I've grown. Size, yield, taste and heat have been great.

I planted only bush tomatoes from seed this year. They're producing better than the transplants I used to grow. Took advice from here and used Spinosad once a week and Neem oil once a week and haven't had any of the usual pest problems. These are from this week. [Linked Image]

My tomato plants are about petered out for the season. Had a good harvest overall, but now the plans are starting to die back with the heat.
Has anyone ever tried topping or cutting the plants back, say remove 2/3's of a plant and had them rejuvenate and make a for a fall harvest?


Some folks mouths, flat out runs their minds.

The problem with that is you're racing against the clock. They probably wont start blooming and setting fruit again until late september,and north Texas usually will have the first freeze by mid-november.Thats only about 6 weeks,probably not enough time to ripen the fruit.

Okay, I am asking for some help on black eyed pea pests. I have Aphids starting up and am treating them with soapy water and then rinse. I also have a bumper crop of Sting Bugs. What can I use to get rid of them without poising my pollinators?
Also I have some pea pods that are turning yellow then dry to a brown if not picked onetime. Some of the pods on the same plant turn purple like they are supposed to.

I've heard that DE works wonders on leafy plants for keeping bugs at bay.

We've used it on our hibiscus many years ago and it worked to keep the bugs at bay.
