Frequently Asked Questions
My Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) “Georgia Streak” has brown spots with fuzzy growth on leaves—what disease is this and how do I stop it?
This pattern is often early blight or late blight, which thrives in wet foliage. Remove badly infected leaves immediately, water at the soil line (not on the leaves), and increase airflow by spacing plants and avoiding crowded cages. If the problem keeps spreading, spray a labeled fungicide for tomatoes and repeat according to the label schedule.
How can I tell when my Solanum lycopersicum “Georgia Streak” is ready to harvest?
Harvest when fruit has reached its mature size and shows full “Georgia Streak” coloration—green-to-yellow stripes fading into the ripe base color with firm, slightly yielding skin. For best flavor, pick when the shoulders are no longer green and the fruit easily separates with a gentle twist. Mature plants take about 85 days from transplanting to harvest, depending on conditions.
