Stunted leaves

BLTLOVER · July 4, 2013

I have never seen this condition with my tomato plants. They started out normal and when they got about 2 feet tall, all of the new growth has small stunted leaves (about 1/3 normal size). Also, although they have been loaded with blooms, they are getting very poor fruit set. I did some research and it sounds like, due to the constant torrential rains that we had all May and into June, the soil nutrients have been washed from the soil. I always add grass clippings all summer and then all the leaves from my large yard in the fall so I've never had to worry about fertile soil. However, last summer was very dry and I got very little grass clippings. I fertilized about 2 weeks ago but not seeing much change yet. I'll send a pic as soon as I replace the dead battery.
