r/tomatoes

They told me to add a shade cloth… they didn’t tell me how difficult it would be. But I got it done.

Is this anything to worry about at the edges of the leaf , i had to move the position of the plant due to it curling and that seemed to fix my previous problem but now it looks like it may be burning but I have no idea since i haven't had a tomato plant since I was a kid

Have a bunch of randoms popping up. Are they tomatoes?

My Better Boy's leafs are curling. From what I've learned this is likely either over or under watering. Soil never seems soggy or water logged, so I don't think it's over watering, but for the last two days I've upped the watering to twice daily and no change.

Is the container too small? I've used this size before without issue.

Any help or suggestions would you be appreciated.

This is my second tomato that has keeled over in the past week. What is going on?

Planted in grow bags with soil, worm castings, and watered occasionally (when they get dryer) with Jack’s Tomato Feed mixed in per instructions. This is my first year growing so could use any and all advice.

UPDATE: I have thinned the heard down to 3. I couldn’t get myself to do them all. I even found a little bunch of tomatoes growing!! More pictures added in comments 🥰 thank you everyone for being kind and funny! This has been a learning experience.

Help! My tomato plant keeps growing up and out but not giving any tomatoes. Can I fix it? This is my first attempt to grow anything ever 😅 TIA

The taller one is a german Johnson, the shorter one is a cherokee purple. They’re both flowering and the johnson has little green tomatoes starting to sprout, but I can’t help but feel worried about the leaf cupping and drooping. Do yall think they look healthy?

Looking for better options this year for my balcony garden. I have some MG mulch left over from last year, but considering pine shavings or straw. I'm on a balcony and concerned about wind, but I think the flake and straw mulches stay put when wet.

What do you guys suggest for a city balcony that gets a fair share of wind.

Hello! My dad poisoned a lot of stuff in my garden w/ roundup (not what i would’ve done but it’s cool) and now the new growth on all 14 of my tomatoes is a light yellow. What should I do? Thank you! (Pictured above is a plant that’s struggling a bit more than the rest, most of my tomatoes only have light, but noticeable yellowing at new growth)

I grew these all from seed and planted around the same time. They are bumblebee cherry tomatoes. Not sure why some seem sad? Vancouver, BC, south-facing patio.

Thanks in advance for your input!

I would like my plant to get bigger, to be able to support more tomatoes. But it kinda stopped growing but there’s about 8-10 tomatoes on it. Should I cut the tomatoes off? Will that put the energy into growing the plant?

i got this guy in the ground a couple months ago and he's been doing really well, but i just noticed this weird white blistering on one of his biggest fruits. i've never seen this before, does anybody know what it is/how i can address it?

Hi everyone, looking for help diagnosing my tomato plant. For reference I am in zone 9b. The leaves have started curling downward and drooping, mostly on the lower and outer leaves, but I don’t see any signs of pests or disease spots. The plant is still green overall and growing. A few details:

-Consistent watering schedule
-Raised bed with mulch
-Last fertilized May 1 with Espoma Tomato-tone (3-4-6)
-Added finely crushed eggshells around the soil about a week ago
-Full sun exposure

I haven’t noticed yellowing, holes, webbing, or bugs under the leaves. Temperatures have been warming up recently, so I’m wondering if it could be heat stress, watering issues, fertilizer, or something else.

I planted two tomatoes per barrel to ensure I had at least one strain of each. Is cutting from the from the stem enough to ensure the other grows properly or should I pull and hope o get some of the roots?

I can’t seem to water these guys enough. I gotta get some mulch down but every day no matter how much I water, they’re always dry.

I’m brand new to this and planted my first tomatoes about a month ago. I’ll be putting them into bigger pots outside in a couple weeks.
