Question

So..tomato season is coming to an end... Shorter and shorter season every year!
I do change the bed location to avoid the vertcillium virus, or bacterias, whatever is is.
Is it a problem for most of us? Is it climate change, bad seads? I used,, Sanmarzano, and
celebrity tomatoes, (my favorites) please share your experience.

Answer 1

Here in Alberta, outside tomatoes don't even ripen on the vine, most years killing frost would get them before they did.

Answer 2

Here, western ky, it's the blasted humidity that's taking them out every year.

Answer 3

I'm in California I can usually grow tomatoes up until December if they're cut back in the fall.

Answer 4

I don't have any problems unless I grow them in the same spot. 2 years in a row seems to be the magic number that I can get away with. I do change the location every year just the same.

Mine are doing fabulously well this year, even with a late start.

Answer 5

we have had a very weird summer the hottest on record during the months when the plants were looking their best so hosepipe bans and flowers fading quickly - we also had a wasps nest and they stung me four times till the wasp man sorted them. And our cherry tomatoes are only just ripening whilst we are now back to normal for this time of year a few wild strawberries but not much picking probably get more along the hedgerows later on. I don't mind really I think gardening in england is often a case of liking what you get rather than getting what you like !

Answer 6

Definetly move the beds every year. Just for the heck of it, I planted the same starts in:

bed used two prior years with no improvement
bed used last year with no improvement
bed used last year with a bag of miracle grow dirt Mixed in.
bed used previously for flowers, no addition's

Bed 4 produced a "tomato forest". Highest productivity.
Bed 3, 2, 1 produced less tomatoes in that order.
