Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 here goes... we have some of the biggest tomato plants ever that we have grown. They are all from a local farm, heirloom and organic. They are in raised beds. Organic soil that has natural fertilizer in it. Some of the plants have had tomatoes on them for awhile now and they have not started to ripen yet. I have been trimming some of the branches that do not have tomatoes growing on them so that the plant can concentrate it's energy to the tomatoes. They have been getting lots of natural water from all the rain we have been getting. I am 5 ft 2 in and some of these come up to my shoulder! Am I doing something wrong? Is there something that I need to be doing that I am not doing? Learning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 -Do you know the name of your heirloom tomato plant? There are many different types and each has it's own growing habit. I've grown Brandywine tomato plants and some have reached 7 ft. tall.
