oliveoyl3Updated The netting or tulle is good for row cover to keep out insects, but not sure how much shade it provides. Be sure if you use plastic to keep it off the plant. Reflected light is even stronger!

pegleg48(6a Toronto)Updated Well, I decided to sacrifice them instead, mostly to give space to more eggplant. But thanks for the advice. It has been humid in the house. I might give a few seedling to a friend, and I'll just tell her to bury it deep and let i...

tomahtohsUpdated Doesn't really look that odd to me. Usually there is at least one fruit on a plant that looks like this. The "One side larger than the other side" thing is the result of uneven pollination. When this happens, one side gr...

digdirt2Updated Most common cause by far is over-watering. Otherwise if there are no signs of a disease - no spots etc. - and no signs of pests then it could just be old age depending on how old the plant is. Tomato plants will normally age and s...
