Over 8-weeks since transplant many of the plants are loaded with tomatoes, no abnormal growth! Very excited, the first tomatoes have begun blushing, too. Sadly, I've also spotted powdery mildew on a few vines, despite spraying weekly.

Interesting trend I'm seeing with the dwarf varieties, the lower leaves get sort of burnt/crunchy/withering looking. If I don't cut/break them off, eventually all the leaves on a stalk will wither up and the stalk just falls off on its own. Is this some sort of disease possibly?

2023 end of season, hit by PM hard, couldn't keep up. I'm thinking about throwing in the towel on tomatoes for next year. I can get into details if anyone is interested, most of these don't taste good and are pretty mealy. No BER issues at all. Finding the 1.5kg un-flushed Taiga bunch broken off the vine was heart breaking. Pictures exclude some maglia rosa and a dozen or so tomatoes I consumed over the last 3 weeks. There are maybe a dozen remaining fire marzano and saucy mary tomatoes that are due to flush any day now, I'll wait to take out the plants until then.
