My tomatoes were bad! They looked water logged. I did not over water them at all. They went bad before they were even ripped. Also have something eating them. This was a bad year for me. Anyone one else have problems?

    Did they have one of these funguses listed in this article? If so, maybe it can help you avoid this issue in future years. https://www.bhg.com/gardening/vegetable/vegetables/tomato-plant-diseases/

    Hi Ellen. I had issues with mine too. The weather was too humid and hot even at night for them. Then we got hit with tons of rain. Not a good year for me.

      But hot at night I always was told good for them to ripen. We did have a bit of rain, Aug was really bad for us.

    I had the most gorgeous tomatoes this year planted the new Buroee beef stale. Huge no marks on them. Used Back to Eden method, look it up on line.

    i usually plant deep this time I didn’t. After I planted I put several inches of wood chips on top of the soil. If it rained and the plants were wet I did not go near them until they were dry. I used dry cow manure on top of the wood chips then watered when I first planted. I only had to water a few times all summer. I have planted tomatoes for 40 years and these were my best. Go on line to Paul G’s Back to Eden Garden.

    sorry I cantspell his last name.
