beclu727 said:All of my heirloom tomato plants have stopped producing due to heat and blight. The blight appeared slowly and took over all the plants except the hybrid sungold. I am about to pull them all out and sterilize the containers for next year. I had one - Georgia Streak - that never set one fruit. Huge bush, a few flowers, no fruit. And no, I didn't fertilize it with excess nitrogen LOL. It got the same treatment as all the others for awhile, then I stopped using fertilizer on it at all. I was a pretty good year for me for tomatoes though. I think I will start a few dwarf variety seeds to plant in buckets for the greenhouse.

That is the mystery as to why some do so well and others poorly.

This year growing lots and lots and lots of heirlooms. Unusual for me as it was always mostly hybrids. So yup, lots more blight in the garden than I am used to seeing.

As to no fruit, that was always my experience with various types of Brandywines I tried thru the years. This year doing a strain called Cowlick Brandywine and it is phenomenal. A really nice amount of tasty, tasty fruit.
