I am starting to get a few tomatoes. Some plants are doing well, but the fruits are small. Like 4 oz. when they should be 8 oz. Others are fruiting before being big and strong enough to really “do it”, so I’ve been clipping those fruits off early to hopefully help the plant to put all it’s energy into growth. It’s sort of the opposite of when I asked about plants that were almost all growth and a few big fruits. Nitrogen levels test fine, so I don’t know what’s up.
Of note is that one of the “Heatwave II” tomato plants that successfully overwintered is producing fruits early. FWIW, these seem to be very mild tomatoes, more like Romas in taste.
Most other plants except weeds are doing poorly. It make me wonder if other plants than lettuce and spinach can get messed up by a disconnect between day length and temperatures. (We had some early very warm days.)
On another note, sometime early yesterday morning the raccoon that has been getting in the garden and also killed a couple of our free range chickens finally made a mistake and went into a trap. I was sorely tempted to shoot it, but instead took it 8+ miles away to over by the river to release it. Hopefully that’s far enough.
You didn’t mention if you are pinching off suckers. Too much leaf growth will give you smaller tomatoes.
This is a short video on pruning suckers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBw9YjM2j8E&t=176s
