The one beefsteak plant with no activity the past three months finally put out a ‘mater.

They are extremely slow producers.

I have one that has flowers then no flowers then flowers again…at this point I’m just keeping it alive to see if it produces anything once the weather cools down (we had hottest weather on record this summer).

What are you keeping out via the netting? Is it working?

Mine did the same and I thought it was just one, but then it made like ten more. They’re great!

I hope it ripens somewhat before cold sets in! You probably have better weather than I for tomatoes. My fingers are crossed I won’t have to pick too many dark green hard tomatoes this year 🤞🏼

Mine have been doing that too. When it started hitting 85-90 degrees, all 23-25 of my tomato plants said “nope.” Temps dropped a couple of weeks ago, and now they’re back in the game (including one that I still haven’t gotten a single tomato from – it’s taller than I am).

I grew one up my fence as an experiment. Trained the vine to crawl up it. Like you I have one tomato. And it’s growing exactly half and half inside one of the diamonds. The only way I’d be able to get it out is to completely squash it. Bad year all around for tomatoes at my house.
