Back to top My tomato plants are growing well and starting to set fruit, but I have noticed that a couple of them have started to have curled leaves. As long as there is no discoloration or spotting of the foliage, it is simply a physiological reaction to the weather. Watch the plants closely for any other symptoms, since it is possible there is a disease coming, but for now don t spray with anything. Back to top I would like to plant some late season tomatoes, but I am having a hard time finding them at my local outlets. There is always the possibility that my existing plants will survive through fall, since they are growing well now, but usually they begin to play out by late summer.
Many nurseries begin to get in vegetable transplants for fall gardens later in the summer.
You might ask your nurseryman if they are planning to get any, or if they can order some for you. It takes about six to eight weeks for a transplant, but you could also direct sow and get some plants that way. Don t forget to water though. Another option is to root some suckers. These small plants can be snapped off and planted, and you can get new transplants.
