Frequently Asked Questions
What pest or disease is most likely to hit Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) and how can I manage it at home?
Early blight (Alternaria) is common on tomatoes and shows up as dark, concentric spots on older leaves that can spread upward. Remove and discard affected leaves promptly, improve airflow by spacing plants, and avoid wetting foliage when watering. If it’s actively spreading, use a labeled protectant fungicide and reapply according to the label after rain or heavy dew.
How do I know when Juliet tomatoes are ready to harvest?
Harvest when fruits are fully colored for the variety and feel firm but give slightly at the stem. Typically, ready tomatoes can be picked around 60 days from transplanting, but use color and ease of separation more than the calendar. Pick regularly once they start ripening to keep plants producing and to avoid overripe cracking.
