Dropping buds or fruit

Most of my clusters on this in-ground indeterminate tomato plant have dropped most of their flowers or tomatoes, (I didn't notice what stage), leaving 1-3 behind. Or maybe some pest picked them off?

No squirrels, mice, or deer where I live, but many birds. Temps have been solidly over 55° F (13° C) since planted, but we have had a few days reach 100° F (38° C) but I *think* this happened before that heat wave.

Is there any way to salvage these seedlings?

I started these well over a month ago and they have stunted since germination. Do they have damping off disease? I know they’re too wet, I was out of town and my husband left them in several inches of water. The fungus on the soil then appeared after.

Waiting...

Starting these guys helps fight off the seasonal depression that comes with living in the Midwest. Most will end up in my goth garden, while others are purely for the weirdness or novelty.

What’s wrong with my tomatoes

It’s growing a lot and I see it’s putting new roots too. A while ago I saw the branches were curling inward but didn’t think much of it but now the bottom leaves are yellowing with brown splotches. Could it be blight?

for context, I bought the plants, transferred them into a raised bed three weeks ago. Only watered them whenever I saw the soil was dry but lately it has been raining pretty moderately. No fertilizer yet. I live in 9a Texas but the weather has been really mild (70-80 highs)

First time growing. Day 10, how are we looking?

I have several varieties from Wild Boar Farms that I started on the 1st. I have a lot more to plant but I wanted to test my germination method first and I think I’m pretty happy with it. How are these looking for day 10? I’m a little worried the 2x T5 bulbs might not be enough light, they seem to be stretching a bit.

Keep unpollinated flowers?

I have a truss of flowers on one of my plants that never made pollen and therefore never got pollinated. Is there any point to keeping them on the plant or should I remove them?

They are standing in a south facing windowsill where they get about 14 hours of light per day, obviously through a window though so maybe not enough to make fruit.

They are in 25 litre pots that they got transplanted to about 2 weeks ago, after which they have completely exploded in growth height wise.

The flowers were not there when I transplanted the plant.

As far as I can tell the flowers now just contain a tiny fruit ovary which is about 1mm in diameter.

I’m guessing it has to do with humidity, any other suggestions as to why are appreciated.

Black spots on leaves

I noticed these black spots on the leaves of this Midnight Snack tomato plant. I have 2 other ones and they don’t have the same color on their leaves. I’ve got it separated from all my other plants. Any idea what’s happening?

Tomato plant needs help

First time tomato gardener here:

Can someone tell me what’s going on with my early girl tomato plant? It started out with darker green (flimsy) leaves and over the past 2 weeks it has started turning yellow and brittle. I haven’t put any fertilizer or pest repellent as I’m not sure what to buy or how often it needs. I was watering it daily at the start but then it got cold so I water deeply every 3 days now.

I’m in zone 7a in Nashville, I appreciate any advice!

Spots on tomato leaves

Just noticed that my black cherry tomatoes have some spots on the leaves. Does this look like sun scald, or is it bacterial spot? I am located in Yokohama, Japan, if that makes a difference.

I am doing heirlooms for the first time this year and want to make sure I catch anything early so I get lots of tomatoes later this summer.

Spacing question for Florida weave method.

I have an about 12x3 foot strip of my best garden space that I am planning plant out with tomatoes all trellised on a Florida weave. I’m going to try to fit 9 plants in this strip. I know that night eight but I think it may still be doable. What are we thinking?

What are some good resources that explain tomato pruning with lots of data?

You all know how it is with boomers sometimes.... I am growing some tomato starts for myself this year, and had a ton of extras, so offered them to my mother and other relatives. I thought I had made progress with my mom in explaining that no, she doesn't need to snip every single sucker on an indeterminate, and she shouldn't prune determinates or dwarfs at all. Sent her youtube videos illustrating. Asked her to do her own research to confirm (what a pipe dream that was).

Up until recently, she was on board. Then she goes into a random garden center and talks to a fellow boomer. The other boomer explains that she uses a single stake with all of her tomatoes and prunes most of the LEAVES off her tomato plants for some bizarre, boomer reason. Yes, the leaves, not even talking about suckers. Leaves. Now my mom will apparently be pruning potentially 60% of the leaves off her tomato plants for some insane reason. By the way, I have a degree in botany, but apparently explaining how plants need their leaves for energy means nothing in the face of some random boomer in a garden center who swears by the "trimming loads of leaves off the plant method."

While I am giving the plants in good faith and don't intend to meddle with someone else's plants that they will spend months nurturing, it just seems so wrong to let this happen. Many of these are cherry tomatoes, and there's zero reason to trim anything on them. Please help me prevent a potential massacre. Does anyone have a good resource I can share with her on pruning tomatoes?
