Thanks for that Frantasia. My poor tomatoes grew really well last year. I got them in a nice sunny spot against the wall for extra warmth. It looked like a get a good crop at first - loads of little green toms. They grew to a good size but then just as they started to ripen they seemed to rot on the plant. Some of them never even ripened. I was very disheartened especially since the year before I got one tomato from four plants!! I suppose I did a bit better last year - I managed to get 2 tomatoes!!
Any suggestions as to why this happened? Is it just lack of sun and too much rain at a critical time or did they get some tomato disease or other? To be honest, there was so much else going on in the garden at that time - and in my life in general - that I didn't even try to find out what had happened. I just decided to write tomatoes off and stick to the stuff I can grow well.
