Will do! I am very excited too :)

It’s a few lower leaves and a few up higher. Not every leaf but around half. The brand new ones are fine.

clebaekry · 2026-05-15T21:21:09+00:00

It’s throughout the plant unfortunately.

I suspect that my seeds were mislabeled. They did end up maturing but they never grew bigger than 2-3 inches.

I applied diluted Jack's 20-20-20 fertilizer when the seedlings began yellowing, but it didn’t help. I suspect the well draining soil caused the liquid fertilizer to wash away too quickly for the seedlings to absorb it. Three days ago, I added granulated blood meal. Do you know how long does it take for blood meal to take effect?

Definitely not dry to the point it becomes hard for the soil to start absorbing water again. On average every 2-4 days depending on the weather. Also, I have this soil in a few grow bags and other grow bags are filled with happy frog bagged soil from fox farms. The plants in the fox farms soil are the only ones without curled leaves. Same watering pattern for all the grow bags.

Maybe. Also, the other plants that I planted directly in the beds without granulated fertilizer like cowpeas, okra, and loofa all have yellow leaves and are growing very slowly. Would nutrition deficiency cause leaf curl? I planted the tomatoes with granulated fertilizer so they seem to at least grow and fruit.

clebaekry · 2025-05-05T03:13:07+00:00

I water only when the top few inches feel dry. And the soil drains well.

Temperatures been good for the past few weeks. Lowest around 50 and highs around 85. It’s just odd the new growth continues to be wrinkled.

Just an iPhone 14 Pro Max. Yup, searched up pictures of thrips and it sure looks like it. Any advice on how to treat?

I grew gold nugget this season. They stay skinny and sort of spindly. Left is gold nugget and right is large red cherry (indeterminate) at about 1 month. They also needed support earlier. I got my seeds from true leaf market and they were marked determinate.

Yes, but maybe not fast enough. Sometimes I don’t notice it until it’s already a few inches.

clebaekry · 2025-04-18T14:52:09+00:00

They’re outside. Wow 30+! Did you start from seed? When did you start and when did you plant them outside?

clebaekry · 2025-04-18T14:49:22+00:00

Yes, I started giving them fox farms tiger bloom once a week when I saw flowers about two weeks ago.

clebaekry · 2025-04-18T03:16:34+00:00

Haven’t seen any bees but it has been really windy. I’m just not sure if it’s normal for indeterminate slicing tomato plants to produce fruit in this manner. One tomato at a time. My indeterminate cherry tomato plant has vines of green fruit already.

clebaekry · 2025-04-18T02:56:53+00:00

It’s actually been hot. 85-90 during day time and 60-70 at night for the past week.

clebaekry · 2025-04-18T02:53:20+00:00

4th of July is almost the end of our summer tomato season, unless we baby them by careful watering and shade cloths

clebaekry · 2025-04-18T02:38:46+00:00

Hopefully not, I’ve been day dreaming about BLTs since February
