2013 tomato growing review
Well, 2013 was the worst tomato crop I've had since I can't remember. We had a light frost on May 17th and my tomato plants were nipped a little. They were recovering nicely and then the monsoon season hit. We had torrential rain after torrential rain along with very cool weather until towards the end of June.
The new growth on my plants was stunted and, after some research, I learned that all of the nutrients were washed out of my soil. I started fertilizing weekly and they eventually came back but I basically harvested just enough tomatoes to keep us in fresh slicers and BLTs.
Oh well, next year!
