Should I repot this beefsteak while it has a tomatoe growing? I put it outside too early and it got too cold at night. I was gonna toss it. Then it started getting new growth and now 1 tomatoes and some flowers i think will tomatoe....don't know if it can be repot right now or just let it tomatoe what it will.

REALLY over seeing a freeze warning on the forecast. Hoping after tonight we (New England) will be in the clear. My babies are ready to be outside tomatoes.

Just got a greenhouse and as far as I'm aware, we can plant and harvest year round in them, right? I have never had a greenhouse before so I'm not sure if it's too late for tomatoes or if they'll be fine.

Hello,

I tried searching the sub but couldn't find a good answer.

I deal with a whitefly infestation every single summer. They always attack the tomato plants first.

Any advice for strictly organic pesticides?

No amount of Neem seems to do the trick, no matter how often I spray.

Thank you.

The weather in the PNW has been an unseasonably warm and sunny, but it’s true we usually have cool and rainy late May and June. I had to baby my starts last year a few weeks due to some cooler weather so I’m hoping the few weeks I waited this year will allow me to plant my starts right on time.

That’s the thing— every year is an experiment in good judgement and an attempt to decipher weather trends. In the PNW it can be difficult predicting the best time to plant outside. All of this is what makes it so fun and interesting.

The bulk of my starts are San Marzano and Amish Paste, with lots of Cellini and Green Grape which in my opinion are some of the best tasting non-paste tomatoes out there.

It has a clear vinyl enclosure so plenty of sunlight gets through but it’s just blocked a little bit. To be honest it helps keep the inside warm so the heat I imagine will only help a bit but just don’t know if the sunlight through the vinyl is enough?

Hi, I cut off affected leaves from two of my green moldovan beefstake potato-leaved tomatoes. Affected leavers dried out on the edges (crispy to touch) and had also dried spots here and there in the center.

These leaves were significantly curling downwards too. Seedling were sitting in my greenhouse on the shelf during the day (temps ranging from 13C to 27C on sunny day) on cold night (below 10C) I brought them inside. They are the only potato leaved tomatoes I have, no other tomato seedlings were affected by this. I bottom water every few days when pots are light, hence the tray in which these pots are sitting. Stems are not affected.

Anyone knows what is it? Is it something that will go away while days are getting drier and warmer?

Thanks for any ideas.

Since there's a constant deluge of folks worrying about "whether my seedlings are gonna make it" at this time of year, just wanted to share a pic.

These were discards from my winter potted tomatoes; I just left them on the patio and never bothered to toss them (yeah, I'm a slob...no doubt about it)

These have been sitting outside, in basically no direct sun -- right behind a 25 gal pot -- since early January. They've been hailed on twice, rained on heavily at least eight or nine times, have seen quite a few nights well below 40 deg, and at least forty or fifty nights below 45 deg.

They haven't had any fertilizer (obviously) or care of any sort since January, either...and they were sitting underneath a tomato plant -- that I was actually taking care of -- that had a severe bacterial speck infestation for a few weeks before I pulled it (you can see they have some the older growth).

Point being.....tomato seedlings are tough as nails when it comes to physiological issues and as long as they aren't diseased (I'm sure that if these didn't have a bacterial issue, they'd perform fine if I planted them out), they don't actually freeze, and you water them, they're likely gonna be ok 😉😉

First non-cherry sized tomato at 7.6 ounces to make it inside. 110 days removed from sowing the seed, 70 days from transplanting. Not 100% ripe just yet and no experience with shelf life for this particular variety. Anyway, looks pretty, hope the taste is as good as the looks.

This is my 5th year over all gardening and 3rd year starting seeds. Until this year ive always gone cheap with my starting/up potting medium.

This year I decided to try a more higher end potting mix to up pot into so I bought a bag of the regular brown bag of Happy Frog.

Other than that I didn't do anything different than what I've done very successfully in the past.

I up potted from seedling trays most of my tomatoes from seedling into solo cups a month or more ago. They all seemed healthy enough.

The last two days I began working through my stockpile. I was very surprised to find that the majority of my tomatoes had shockingly under developed root systems, considering the length if time they were in the solo cups and that the above soil plants were mostly 8-10 inches tall with good branch/leaf development. Some of them were do bad the soil just crumbled away when I removed them from their solo cup. A few had so little roots that they just lifted right out of the soil with minimal pulling.

Anyone ever have this ussue? Is it possible the Happy Frog caused this?

Hello! I’ve started my own plants from seeds several years now and never had this problem. What causes this and will these plants recover? Should I trim the affected leaves off?
