Some cherry tomatoes in the garden growing nicely. My 4yo likes to eat them right off the plant so we go through them quickly 😂

    My tomato plants had a great harvest about two weeks ago and have given me nothing since then … one seemed to get sick and wither, but the other three continued starting fruit but it would all go bad before ripening. Thinning out the plants did not seem to help. Have you had trouble like that? I think insects are involved but have not gotten a good look at the culprits.

      No problems like that for us yet! They’re starting to kick into gear so I’m expecting some decent batches to start ripening over the next few days.

      We are also growing some Roma tomatoes for the first time though and we’ve had an issue with those getting a small amount of rot in the bottom where the flower was. Apparently this is common and you can spray calcium to help with that
