| Hi Everyone. I am growing my first sfg this year and having lots of fun learning and watching my veggies grow. I have 2 tomato plants in 4x4 raised bed that I planted end of February. They survived the cold and have been growing well since early April. The bush goliath is about 3.5ft tall and producing lots of tomatoes (30-40) green ones right now and still setting fruit daily. The beefsteak is growing like crazy and did have lots of flowers (not so many now) it is about 5 feet tall and growing quickly but I only have found one tomato so far. (Just found it last week) Is this normal?? Why is beefsteak growing well but no fruit??? Anything I can do to help it along? Thanks for helping a newbie out!! :) |

| You'll find that very little reliable info results from trying to compare different varieties. :) So 1 is a Bush Goliath and the other a Beefsteak (the variety capital B) or a beefsteak (class of several varieties with may different varieties in it and small b). Totally different type plants with very different growth and fruit set cycles.and patterns different DTM,etc. What you are seeing is normal. Dave |

| Thanks Dave. I was hoping it was normal. Just making sure :) |
