Be careful. They can get sunburn.I figured it out - they weren't getting enough sun.
This morning I trimmed off a lot of the leaves that were shading the tomato clusters... and already I am seeing shades of pink on a tomato.

I thought of that. I left the leaves on the top 2/3 of the plant, plus there are leaves from the Ocoee and squash vines.Be careful. They can get sunburn.
As long as they have some shade. Early blight is more of a problem here than PM.I thought of that. I left the leaves on the top 2/3 of the plant, plus there are leaves from the Ocoee and squash vines.
Clearing the lower leaves should reduce the chance of powdery mildew too, right?
Also mlch them with red plastic, to make them grow better.They claim that are s'posed to prune tomatoes, --- I never did cause it would take a chainsaw and 2 weeks to prune mine!
Did he say how??Not sure what year.
Alabama native Charles Wilber set world records for the most tomatoes per plant and the tallest tomato plant.

Didn't even "save" $2 - factor in your time and supplies and it's more like, "Congratulations! You just spent $100 on $2 worth of tomatoes."And while we're on tomatoes .

Because they ain't ready yetWhy aren't my tomatoes turning red?
The plants look very good, nice color and size, no insect damage, plenty of green tomatoes in various sizes.
I picked one this morning that was pinkish in color, but one side was split and there was what looked like a worm hole.
I put it in the tad tank to see if they would eat it.
What is satisfaction worth? You love it right?Didn't even "save" $2 - factor in your time and supplies and it's more like, "Congratulations! You just spent $100 in $2 worth of tomatoes."
I do. But that's a question I ask myself every year.What is satisfaction worth? You love it right?
That popped up on a history page I follow on Facebook. Not much info.Did he say how??
Maybe... but I'm tired of waiting!Because they ain't ready yet
It's gotten pretty dry here too the past couple of weeks.We finally got much needed rain this week. 1/2 inch Wednesday evening and 1.5 last night. Been running drip lines daily but not the same as good ol rain. Even with the drip, green beans have been slow to come up. Limas came up good. Looks like picking zucchini,pickles and cucumbers this week. Maybe some peppers too.
