It seems that the growing season has really flown by this year.
Seems the older I get, the faster time flies in general, but I sure do know what you mean... :)

We moved this week (Sept. 1 and 2), and since parting with our Brandywine Pinks was going to be too much a sorrow, I dug one of them up and we moved it, and lo and behold (the transplant was on the 2nd), it looks like it's now going to make it. It even has great looking new growth at top center-ish and top-right. So thank you for the information that tomatoes can at times endure a transplant. Who woulda thunk it? (We're also growing lettuce --an heirloom romaine-- out of mushroom compost as you suggested --and tested!) Love these garden threads...♥ Thanks for taking the time to produce them.

Ditto on that from me. They are a welcome, and helpful sanctuary for me.

You are welcome. Thanks for the pictures. That surely is a healthy looking Tomato plant. Mine are always scraggly this time of the year. And they get that yellow leaf with spots thing. I thinks it’s blight. Whatever.

I always just cut off all the bad leaves and burn them, and then the tomatoes perk up and produce some more.
