any tips on getting tomatoes plants to actually make tomatoes? Our peppers, basil, and mellons did great. Our tomato plants thrived but only a handful of tomatoes.

I was thrilled because I had a ton of tomatoes and cucumbers this year, even in the drought. The Celebrity, Jetstar, and cherry tomatoes did particularly well, and I had about 10 of the Brandywine Heirlooms.

Now though, after the recent rains, my tomato plants look like they've got some kind of fungus. Does anyone have recommendations for some organic solutions?

It's probably just too much water, the roots are likely rotting - is your bed well drained? I have a raised bed and the drainage is very good, but I have a tomato planted in the corner of the bed, so it has wood on two sides and it looks like it is dying from the bottom up. I think it is wetter in that corner and that is the problem. The tomato right next to it is fine. Call the Natural Gardener and ask, they will give you good advice. www.naturalgardeneraustin.com 288-6113
