Tomatoes - August 16th

I'm noticing a difference in the way the tomato plants look in different parts of the garden:

vs.

These are all from the same 6-packs (don't know what type they were - can't find the tags), but the ones on the right side as we come in the door are much more lush with larger leaves than the ones in the bed at the end of the U.  Perhaps the big ones are getting more sun, as the end of the U is often in the shade of the tree at the corner of the shed.  Something to think about next year.


These are the ones on the far side of the shed (Champion II).  They appear to be doing well, but not much fruit showing yet.  The leaves are always curled up, even when they're not dry.  I guess it's just the type of plant!  They're supposed to be more disease-resistant than other tomatoes, so maybe that's why.

Here are some of the varieties we put in the buckets.  We definitely need to use different soil in the buckets next year.
 These (Heat Wave) are quite tall, and have fruit on them already, where the others don't.

 This one (Celebrity) isn't really doing much yet.

 It doesn't seem like Early Girl is doing much, either.

 This is Super Sweet 100 - cherry tomatoes.  Some fruit, seems to be doing OK.  But the plants in the buckets aren't as full and dark green as the ones in the beds.  Probably the dirt.
