My tomato plants are skinny and gangly. Any design? We own gotten means of access too much precipitation if that matter.?
Your tomato plants may be to big for this, but if you have high skinny tomato plants to plant just plant them extra deep. Roots will develop along the stem. You can also plant them horizontally next to the top 3 - 4" sticking out of the soil. For a second crop of tomatoes you can remove the side shoots and root them and plant them as well. I had that issue ultimate year with mine. This year, I tilled up a corner of my yard that get maximum sun and even in spite of the rain, my plants, while not intensely tall yet, are BUSHY and enjoy blooms galore already. The soil back there is also awfully rich...everything in my garden is flourishing. I would get some biddable fertilizer and give those plants a good breakfast time.
Good luck!
The rain could be a factor but it also sounds resembling your tomatoes need some good fertilizer; they are adjectives for nutrition. Feed them something balanced with nitrogen (for vegetative growth), phosphorus (for flower growth) and potassium (for polite root development).
Also make sure the tomaoes get polite sun, between 80F-85F for at least six hours a day. If it get hotter than that for long the tomatoes also need shade to cool off. If it get too hot for them they simply drop their blossoms and wait for more ideal growing conditions.
I grow different vegetables and my tomatoes like coffee grounds and crushed egg shells in the soil. I simply put in the stuff to the surface and lightly rake it in. Watering will eventually settle everything to the roots where on earth it's absorbed by the plant.
Answers: Hmmm, maybe lack of sunlight if you've have so much rain. Yes, and all the rainfall is keeping the ground too moist reducing oxygen in the soil, but also the nitrogen in any fertilizer you enjoy added is also leaching out. You need to support those weak plants and replace the fertilizer.
I hope the plants don't receive diseased...not much you can do about that.
yea def not enough sunlight i mean plants necessitate sunlight in order to find energy
