Where have all the leaves gone? Have you fed them?

My tomatoes are a bit lacklustre this year. That includes ones growing in a polytunnel and ones growing outside. I think it is a funny year for them.

Keep feeding is all I can suggest.

Mind, it has been a funny year for a few things. My shallots refused to germinate, I normally over sow and end up with lots to spare. This year I ended up with just a few in each tray just to prove it wasn't me!

I have been watering and fed them

There is a distinct lack of insects around to pollinate flowers

So just keep watering/feed and hope for the best !

I thought maybe I should be pinching bits out or something.

I am no gardener but have always got loads of toms each year.

What are you feeding them?

When they start flowering you feed them weekly with a proper tomato food.
Until then a weekly application of seaweed fertiliser is great.

Bigger pots? Sit in trays so the water is caught?

@mumda
Thanks for info
Yes tomato food.
Not seaweed though.

They look very hungry. I would top the pots up with compost as they are only in half a pot. It’s fine to bury the stems with tomatoes. I would switch to a general purpose feed for a while to see if you can get them growing a bit more. Producing flowers and fruit takes a lot of nutrients which they just haven’t got.

@AlwaysGardening
Thank you i have been meaning to get more compost but been busy and keep forgetting.
Maybe i will put in a bigger pots i have two hugh ones which I put 2 or 3 plants in together last few years and they done well.
Bit disappointed as usuarly have good amounts of them.

You need to buy a grow bag, split it into 3, put your 3 plants into bigger pots and use the grow bag soil to top up the pots and feed regularly with seaweed feed.

@Shedmistress
Thanks that's good idea !
Usuarly they have lots of leaves one of the plants looked like loads of little turned up buds was growing but I think it was the leaves had just died before they lived 😂

Pots don’t look big enough. Repot them - deep. Water regularly and feed once a week

@MissHollysDolly
Thanks
I have used very big ones before as well as the ones in pictures as i used to grow more although they were full up with compost !
never had this issue but will do.
I am looking at seaweed food etc on amerzon now.

Grobags are great. Try the seaweed.

Done reporting and seaweed today
