just picked some tomatoes today, I was wondering if its common for the trusses to start growing a stalk at the end of the truss?
Only too common.
I was told that it was due to overwatering - but don't quote me!!
Tim,
thanks for the info, I wondered why it was happening, I think tomatoes would keep growing, making the tomatoes smaller and smaller.
I was told this was due to overfeeding, just trim it that's what I do and plant is fine.
Vez1,
yep did that this afternoon, thanks for the tip
Vez, thanks - I meant overfeeding!!
Later - but not all plants suffer, despite the same routine!
And we do a dilute feed at every watering.
Mine are doing that, Gardeners' Delight and Marmande.
Thing is, I haven't fed them at all. Just dug in some manure before planting.
I'm leaving them to their own devices (apart from nipping out the sideshoots) and getting an excellent crop. :)
