Certified ExpertA.If you mean that the plants are not branching out, this can happen if they are not getting enough light. If you can get them more light that will help. You can also force them to branch by pinching the very top off the plant. This will remove the terminal node and force side nodes to grow,

May 29, 2011Q.Why are my roma tomatoes brown on the bottom?
I am growing romas for the first time and so far more than half my tomatoes end up with brown/black bottoms and I have to throw them away. What is that or what causes it? Too much water/not enough? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Certified ExpertA.This is blossom end rot. You don't need to throw away the tomatoes, as this doesn't affect the fruit itself taste wise. Simply cut off the affected end.

June 6, 2011Q.La Roma Tomatoes
Our La Roma tomato plant is healthy and growing well, but we have discovered that that slugs or worms are eating into the fruit and devouring it from the inside. How can we stop these worms from destroying the fruit? Do we need a spray or insecticide to combat this? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

June 16, 2011Q.Roma Tomatoes – Black Bottoms
I am planting my first garden. I have a few tomato plants (Beefsteak and Roma) and some herbs intermingled in half-whiskey cask planters. A few of my small green Roma tomatoes have black bottoms (as opposed to being all green). Should I do something about this, or is it normal?

Should I remove suckers from my Romas? Since they are determinate, I wasn't sure. With indeterminate varieties, I leave them and tie up 2-3, removing all the others.
