Tom help and ID
Several months ago I bought a few pounds of red tomatoes in hopes of making sauce. As it turned out, I forgot about them sitting in a bag and they went bad. So out into the compost pile they went and a week later about 100 plants were growing. I now have 11 in containers with about 65 fruit on 9 of them and 9 plants in the ground with about 6 tomatoes. The ones in the ground are about a month behind on setting fruit and flowering.
But my real concern is something else. We've had lots of hard rain the last few days here in SC. Today I noticed some darkerspots on the tomatoes that you can somewhat see in the pics. Is this ok or is it too much water or something else? Also, any chance of getting an ID on these at this time? Determinate vines and very stocky. Good producers too. One plant has 13 very healthy tomatoes going so far. The green and red tomato I picked up at a farmers market. They said it was an orange strawberry but it looks much different than what I've seen so far. Thank you. |
