I'm finally getting tomatoes from the vines (because it's finally been almost warm enough for tomatoes... still not warm enough for eggplant!)
And I've got a few problems with my tomatoes. Of course, having only grown tomatoes for a few years, they may not be problems, it may just be normal, but here goes. I'm a little panicky and I'd love for someone to tell me what is wrong and / or how to fix any problems you see. I've already decided that they are too close together (who knew that composted horse manure + too much rain = gargantuan tomato plants?) I don't spray with anything (yet) and I'd like to keep it as non chemical as possible (please don't make this a debate about to spray or not to spray, I just want some tomato advice. Fewer chemicals is a personal choice, I'm not judging anyone else's gardening style, just letting you know my preference.) I haven't fertilized since we added the compost to the soil this spring, I haven't watered more than twice all summer thanks to the constant overcast and cool weather.
Okay, so now that the disclaimers and what I'm doing is out of the way, the problems:
One of them has curled leaves really badly, but it's only one plant, which makes me think it might just be plant stress since this one is on the end of the row?
Spotted leaves - a few of them are getting this weird yellow mottled look to them and it looks nothing like the normal "this leaf is too old and I'm getting rid of it now" yellowing that the plants usually do.
Close up view of the spots - yellow and brown, is this normal?
A few of the plants have leaves that look like their edges are rusted and their middles are super shiny and raised, almost puffy.
A couple of plants have some leaves that are curing in, only not really curling so much as growing in an umbrella shape.
Then there's the fruit. I think this is BER, b/c I had lots of problems with that (too much rain earlier) but I'm not sure b/c of the white stuff.
And the other fruit looks sort of normal, but I've never seen the horizontal scaring before.
Any ideas? Any of this normal? Any of this need to be quarantined?
