>>My tomatoes still seem stunted. Only one has any green tomatoes on it, and those haven’t gotten any bigger since last week.<<

Try throwing a hand full of Epsom Salt around each plant and water it in. I do that every other week and it gives them a pick me up.

Sure sounds like a lot of us had a bust year with some area our gardens. In my case, it was probably the very late start I got putting my tomatoes in. And then the weather went into an early heat wave that the young plants just could not survive. My whole gardening experience revolves around my tomato plants and it really had me bummed out when they just conked out even after I provided some shade for them.

I have vowed to get an early start next. Watch it come a late snow! I am so glad I don’t have to rely on my gardening skills to make a living.
