Well until 2 years ago I DID grow really flavourful toms, but the last 2
years nothing but disaster, & really can't eat those shop bought ones, even
the so called 'vine grown' taste awful:
Even though I used new soil, new plants, they all died of some type of
disease. The stalks went brown & the gradually the whole plants died off. I
believe it is some type of virus, but I did do all the recommended thing
like using fresh soil, not using the old stakes & even using brand new
garden tools that had never seen my garden before!
Oh well I have promised myself that I will try once more again this year.
BTW I live in Sydney
