    i thought id heard on another video that late blight is ok and tomatoes wil continue to grow untoched. Im so glad i watched your video. I planted 12 tomatoe palnts (money makers) in my garden in march. all this rain weve had this last 2 weeks has battered my tomatoes. luckily theyd already flowered and fruited. ide already got a good 2kg of tomaotes, up until the last 2 days ive spotted late blight and rottening my tomatoes. i watched this and had just have to rip up all 12. now my chillies next row can have some air and light ;) Cheerz bud! I luv the welsh accent, makes it more satisfying to listen to. now ive got room for bulding the first raised bed of 6 (to my plan). all the stuff ive grown so far have been a success. its my first year after many years not grwoing. next year ive got some big plans to grow lots. ive got 2 woormerys on the go too, these castings will be part of my soil mix. ive also got 3 composting bins on the go so will be mxing this with manure that i will mix up in the winter so its got time to rot for next spring. I furkin luv gardening. so glad i started it again. From Newnham on severn! thankyou for the video

    I planted 4 spots in a small garden with 2 in each spot muskmelons. 3 of them did well, one never grew and both the plants died. I replaced them with a tomato plant identical to 2 others in the garden that were doing very well. It just never grew much at all, but flowered and produced tomatoes, in spite of being less than 2 feet tall while the others grew normally. Does anyone care to speculate what is wrong with that spot? It got the same fertilizers as the other two spots. The plants just can't seem to uptake enough nutrients to grow there.

    Should I just pour baking soda into the soil or dilute into water. I live in Alabama and our heat index/"feel like" temps have been around 100-104 and also we have had A Lot of rain as well. I have 5 beef steak tomato plants- planted in 5 gallon buckets (every plant is affected) and they are dying/yellowing with brown spots from the bottom up. My fruit are beautiful green and about Small/medium size but don't seem to be getting bigger. Any help would be appreciated. The are no blemishes or spots on the fruit

    Last year i grew my usual 5 tomato plants in my greenhouse & i bought a cheap green poly-tunnel and grew another 6 in there, i found the tomatoes in the poly-tunnel had a lot of issues due to the fact that during the night the condensation would build up so badly that by morning when i opened he doors and windows it was like a heavy rainstorm inside, over the months every tomato plant had either curly leaves or blight,i tried everything even using a dehumidifier but it was a disaster so this year i am sticking to the greenhouse for the tomato plants!

I did get a few big tasty tomatoes right towards the end of the season but overall it some of the tomato plants looked very ill due to the amount of condensation and the amount of water on their leaves.

    Hi Tony. Many many thanks for this - so helpful. I notice you haven’t mentioned Bordeaux Mixture at all. I remember my mum using it in the greenhouses (she was a market gardener) and I can buy it here in France as Bouille Bordelaise. But I don’t know what it actually is or whether it is something horrid? It is used for a number of mildew related problems including blight. Just wondering, as well, while we’re on the subject of tomatoes, any ideas why my very healthy, strong looking plants have such pathetic trusses this year ? Thanks again. Steph from France

    Tony,Love your vegetable growing presentations. Many thanks. From watching an earlier one I would like to mention justone small thing: You strike me as the kind of guy who likes to keep his facts straight; a matter of credibility. Epsomsalts is Magnesium Sulfate, not Calcium. Blossom end rot has little to do with Epsom salts. The regular consistent uptakeof calcium in aqueous solution is the way to avoid it. Regular, and consistent watering, as you mention is the key.

They are about 8 weeks old since planting, and I used old potting soil, old pots and grew them in close proximity to each other. I was hoping it was just a nitrogen deficiency, but I fear I will lose the lot. Fingers crossed ...

    I am a beginning gardener. My Early Girl tomatoes are beautiful but.. they have begun to look very weird. As they are ripening from green to red, they appear to be disintegrating from the inside. I have checked for worms and pests and have found some on the leaves and stems but the tomato appears like it has been bruised. Looks kind of sunken in spots. I cut them open and there are no pest inside. The insides are kind of woody looking (like heirlooms look inside) but solid part of the tomato is sweet and tasty. Do you have any idea what is going on? Another variety of tomato which is growing very near the early girls has not been effected at all. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
