Tomatoes seem to have been effected heavily somehow this year from poor cropping to late blooming or indeed none at all, there are 12 allotments where mine is and so far everyone's tomatoes aren't doing well and as you can imagine everyone does it different, but other seems to have worked this year

well my toms are shit this year....the good news is my cucs are brill and cropping heavy. Note to NR with what you, describe you are watering to much in 1 hit .....water a little and often , when toms form remove leaves from the bottom and work up to get plenty of air and ventilation.

Ooops! Going to buck the trend here. My toms are fantastic this year. I've had a really heavy crop of three different types. Loads of salads and plenty of puree in the freezer.

Your previous post stated that your toms were not doing well!

If your tomatoes did not produce well do not make the effort of saving and planting defective seed!

Order a fresh batch from a heritage seed producer and start over.

The seed I saved was from the biggest, juiciest tomato, off the healthiest plant in my garden. The tom was nearly 6" in diameter and the plant was 5" tall. That plant produced 20-25 tomatoes through the late summer and still has a half dozen ripening here at the first of October.

I am expecting the same from every sprout taken off that plant next season.

The puny, feeble ones are already gone and in the compost heap.
