Having grown like 5 tomato gardens from AeroGrow..until I found my own tomato seeds and now grow my own type that I like. IF you grow more than 3 tomato plants, you cut down on the tomatos you will get. The plats get big....if you dont prune them heavily, you can fill the garden with the 3 tomato plants. Like I posted for another grower here...plant some herbs in the empty growplug holes, if you have the baskets to grow them in. OR try growing the Micro Tom tomato. You can grow 7 plants! They are only 4-7in high,of course, and you only get tiny tiny tomatos, about the size of a pea. BUT you use the entire garden and they taste pretty good in a salad...or as you walk by, you pick one off and pop it in your mouth! They are fun to grow and kids learn to grow vegetables. And you get fruit in like 3-5 weeks! I have 3 growing now and all are blooming and fruiting. Just waiting for them to ripen. Under the lights they are taller than when grown in soil and outside, and teh tomatos are a bit bigger. BUT they are the worlds smallest tomato. So dont expect a beefstake tomato:) But the one that comes from AeroGrow are small and they are ok..but this is an option. They have a more tomato taste to them,you just have to grow more of them. and you can! BUT if you stick with the Aerogrow tomatos,...grow only 3 plants,...they will get 'big',..and the system will only grow 3 great plants...or 4-6 so so plants,you choose So...grow something else. like the Micro Tom tomato...or other dwarf tomatos. IF you are set on tomatos. Or grow your own garden of your choice, that will fit under the lights...dwarf plants. Buy the seeds and check the heights. then grow what YOU like, remember to pick the right setting on the garden for what you are growing, to get the right light timing.

The round greenish eggs are probably going to be tomato hornworms, squish any you see, and you might want some BT spray. A tomato hornworn when it gets big can eat a whole plant in a day. When they are first hatched, they can be very hard to see--they are exactly the color of the tomato leaf. Try checking early in the morning when they tend to be out in the open. Later on, they tend to hide or be under the leaves. If the bites are very small, it's possibly damage caused by a caterpillar. If not, I'd still suspect some animal or bird. The only way I've ever found around that was to pick as soon as the fruit started to blush and let them ripen in a window. Here, the mockingbirds eat mine (and the squirrels, and probably the possums, too....).

Don't know why no one responded earlier. And even though it's likely too late for the problem you had, I'll make a few comments. Because you saw problems so soonafter spraying, I suspect something went wrong with the application timing or weather. For one, I see you're in CA. So, what were the temperatures at that time? Anything 85F or above on the day of spraying will damage plants. And what does "heavily sprayed" mean? Any spray should only lightly cover all foliage. And because I'm not familiar with the product, is the stuff safe for tomatoes? Beyond all that, you need to know that few fungicides get rid of any existing disease. Instead, they are applied to protect the new growth.

If the nuesery raises their own plants then it was the fault of one of the nursery workers who put the wrong labels in the wrong place. it happens. But if the nursery subcontracts out for the plants they sell and they already come wrongly labelled that's another story. And that happens as well/ But at this time of the year I can't see any nursery still having good plants to sell.At a couple of places where I read there are stories of folks picking up overgrown very large plants that were outside and not taken care of and paying some ridiculos price for them/ Maybe some of you have local nurseries that still have excellent healthy plants, but we here in the tundra are about the last to put out our plants and for those who buy their plants. And word is that's all that's left at some places are the yellow leaved disease speckled very tall plants. Carolyn
