I planted a bunch of seeds as they were quite old and hadn't been stored very well, however, all germinated. I picked the best two looking seedlings and pinched off the rest. I planted a heap of radish around the tomato seeds at the same time so it's a bit hard to see the seedling at this stage...

These have taken off really well but I couldn't bring myself to cull all but one of the plants so I'm growing two plants either side of the support pole. I'll probably pay for it later.......

This plant was a casualty of my recent holiday to Japan for 10 days and was suffering heavily from being over-watered by my fill-in gardener. I trimmed all the junk leaves off but the plant was too far gone and didn't recover, which is a shame because there was a few nice toms setting.

It's well past the ideal season but I'd thought I would give it one more try.

Hi there, have recently built some garden beds in my backyard and had put in reggae roma (exact same brand as yours) and apollo tomatoes.
ReplyDeletehave just had a weeks worth of rain which it didnt stop, and the roma is wilting quite baldy after that, however the apollo is going geat still.
is this what happened to your plant when overwatered?
all leaves started to will, then some are turning yellow.
cheers.
