I have grown tomatoes usually in the ground over the years and never had this kind of problem. But this is also the first time i have tried to grow beefsteak tomatoes and grape ones. The grape ones seem to be doing fine I am getting alot. But the beefsteak is not producing as fast as i thought it might do, I have perhaps about 12 the size is not so big yet. I did put them in separate containers, large ones. But the are in an enclosed area it was a type of tomato cage that can connect with other ones a total of 3 sides per pkg i bought so i connected them all together and thought this would protect them better plus make it easier to string any branches i had to. Is this normal for a beefsteak? I also in a separate container am growing a regular type pepper plant, its only producing 2, can you believe it? I have grown this before and usually i have more than i know what to do with. They appear to be healthy, we are watering them more due to the humidity going on and high temps here. any ideas? Lish in Ky. |

I wish that I could help you. All my tomatoes are in the ground. So far, though, the only ones that have ripened are the Romas. The others will be ready soon. |

It could be the size of the container. For growing tomatoes and peppers, you should have them in at least a 5 gallon container. |
