Tomatoes aren't rippening
Hi from Sonny120,
I am about 25 miles north of NYC. What's happening out there this year with the tomatoes? I have had great success in past years. But this year is dismal. My tomatoes are hard as a rock and they are not ripening. I picked one a week ago, and there are two that are just starting to ripen. Same with my brother and friend in central Jersey. They're not getting a good crop either. I already pulled one plant out which was wilting. Not yellow, no signs of blight, but just wilting like it could not take up the moisture in the ground. I usually start seed in the house. This one was from Home Depot. Has anyone else in this area experienced this? Can anyone suggest a solution. I have heard about taking a spade and severing the roots around that stalk. But is seems too early in the season to do that. OK. Any reply/help/comments would be appreciated. Sonny120 |
