Lack of flavor this fall

duajones · December 30, 2010

For whatever reason, my fall tomatoes this year just dont taste as good as they did in the spring. Black and Brown Boar, which was the star of my 2008 fall grow out, isnt as good as it was then either.
As I had mentioned in a different thread, these plants looked great a couple of weeks after transplant and then went into some kind of funk for a whole month. I even lost a plant and this happened to several people in my area.
That lost month hurt me as far as early fruitset when temps were more ideal. I am leaning toward cooler night time temps being the culprit.

Cherokee Purple, which is one of if not my fave is rather bland as well
