One of my tomato plants is doing quite well, its as tall as me with the help of the cage I built around it. We have gotten about half a dozen tomatoes so far. Maybe we will get a few more before the plant is done for the year. The other plant is still quite small and only produced one or two tomatoes. Not sure why one did so much better than the other. Maybe one got a little more light than the other though they are right next to each other.
It has outgrown the cage and is now overflowing on top of the sweet potato beds. A few of the tomatoes reached the ground and had to be cut off, but many of them started to ripen on the vine and I harvest them when they just start to blush on their bottom. I did not see the pollinators that visited these plants, but something must have as I got fruit from the result.
Next year I will try to start them earlier, and due to that I should be able to make many clones of them to grow. This year I started some cuttings in the middle of the summer and they did not have enough time to form flowers and fruit. Maybe next year will be different for the cuttings. Hoping to have enough to keep a flow of ripening tomatoes. By only have two plants I found myself weeks apart between ripening fruits, meaning I would have to buy tomatoes at the market and that is not preferable. Id rather grow all my own.
When it comes to these tomatoes, I find giving them as much space as possible works well as they tend to over grow the cages. Maybe I need some better welded wire cages but for now I am using some smaller plastic ones.
At this point in the year everything is slowing down and the leaves are starting to wilt, so there may not be much time left for this time year. But next year we will do it all over again with these annuals.
