July 6, 2015Q.Tomato plants
My tomato plants shriveled up at the ends and stopped growing. They are planted at the edge of my lawn and my neighbor's yard. I had to put in all new plants. The new ones seem to be fine. Could this because I planted them too soon (beginning of May when we had excessive winds and a lot of rain or are they picking up weed killer that may have been put down in my neighbor's yard)?

July 6, 2015A.The early planting could have affected the growing tips if it got too cold, but should otherwise not be a problem. Make sure they are in well-draining soil and give them a boost of balanced fertilizer. I would pinch out the dead ends. Should the plants be suffering from overspray, this article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/herbicide-plant-damage.htm

PennsylvaniaQ.tomato plants are full of flowers but no fruit
My tomato plants are full of flowers and are 7 ft high already but have no fruit as of yet. Is that OK? I am concerned the plants will reach 10 ft. and still not have fruit. The soil is a mix formula I got from the web and wonder if it's to rich. The cucumbers are already 5 ft. high and full of flowers but no fruit as of yet.

July 7, 2015Q.curling tomato leaves
The leaves on my tomato plants are curling. I know it's early, but they are not exactly over-producing either. One has about ten tomatoes growing, the other only two. Too much water maybe? Too little? I will say that they do not get as much sun as would like. But it's the best we can do given the configuration of our house and yard. Thanks for your help.

July 8, 2015Q.tomato disease
Our tomatoes are wilting from top and branch will bend over and wilt. There are no spots on the leaves. The leaves curl up and turn dark like they were hit with a frost. The temp here has been 25 to 30 C. Would like your opinion. Thanks.

July 10, 2015Q.tomato plants
Is it ok to cut off the branches on my tomato plants that don't and won't have any fruit so that the fruit bearing branches get all the water and food? Also, it's hard to see fruit with foliage being so thick.

July 10, 2015Q.Tomato not bearing fruit
My tomato plants have grown very large and have been producing a lot of flowers for the past 3 weeks but no fruit growth. Any ideas on how to fix this? Do I need to pollinate them myself? Also, I live in Florida and each day the temperature is about 92 and at night in the mid 70s and they are out in full sun. Thanks!

July 11, 2015A.Have you been fertilizing the plants? They could be get too much nitrogen, which leads to lush foliage but little to no flowers/fruit. This can be offset by adding high phosphorus fertilizer or bone meal around your plants.
