carolyn137(z4/5 NY)Updated If the farmer at the farmer's Market had labels saying Sungold F1, then he would have used F1 seed for the plants he sold. But there are four open pollinated (OP)versions of sungold, meaning non-hybrid, and one of them is genetica...

carolyn137(z4/5 NY)Updated There are lots of varieties that look like that at the green stage, so no way to ID it, but I bet what you have is a seed that was dropped there by a bird b'c that does happen, especially since you didn't plant it yourself. ( smil...

sandyslopes z5 n. UTUpdated Now is when your common sense should kick in. You proved to yourself that your bright idea (as you put it) doesn't work the way you'd hoped. Time to try something else. And have some compassion. You did put out food so someone hun...

carolyn137(z4/5 NY)Updated If it were me I'd call it a season, harvest what you can and then dispose of the plant since you haven't indicated what disease you think it might be that's affecting the stems and I suppose leaves as well. My guess would be one o...

NeslonUpdated It depends what you want out of this tomato plant. If you are expecting a good crop then that isn't going to happen after all this time. If you are doing it for fun then it doesn't look too bad to me. I always cover the pot with c...

digdirt2Updated Honestly I wouldn't make the effort to try to keep it growing. Your choice of course but not only is your zone an issue for winter-growing but relatively complex conditions for indoor growing are also needed. Add to that it is a h...

jonfrum(6)Updated I never compost tomato, potato or squash vines. The risk of disease just isn't worth the tiny amount of finished compost produced.

edweather(Zone 5a/b Central NY)Updated I don't know too much about it, but it's hard to get every single leaf with a fungus on it out of a garden. I usually do the best I can, and hope that the fungus won't live through the winter. I also regulary use a fungicide.

minflick(9b/7, Boulder Creek, CA)Updated Oh dear! I'd about cry if I came out to a tomato plant looking like that... I'd be breaking out the scissors, or my boot, or something to do it in. Wow.
