Replace those Withered Tomatoes
I don't know why 7 out of the 8 tomatoes I planted did not grow well, and one is doing great... about 5 times taller than the pitiful ones. They had some brown withered leaves, but got the same amount of water and sun as the healthy one, which is a Celebrity. Seriously, I planted 4 Celebrity and 4 Homestead varieties. Oh, and my one Little Napoli tomato plant which is also doing well.. the first one to have green tomatoes appearing. I checked with my advisor, Matthew, and he said they might have a virus. Apparently those varieties are both heirloom strains, and are more disease prone than hybrids. I decided to take them all out, RIP, and try some hybrids instead. I planted another Little Napoli, a Best Boy, and a Steller Slicer.
