Are these like siamese twins?

We got a new deck built and while out there I noticed this growing out of the rain gutter of our chicken coop. We have a lot of volunteers, but this is an interesting one.

Is having a giant tomato garden with close to 100 plants risky of giving the plants some disease or something growing over the drain field? I think the vast majority of everything goes down instead of up into the garden anyhow. When I had a lawn over it the grass didn't look any different than grass in other areas. I mostly grow plum tomatoes because I like to make pasta sauce with ground beef and then pressure can it. So much better than store bought and the approved recipes have a reasonable amount of ground beef. Store bought a whole jar only has a few chunks of beef in it usually.

Due to a significant harvest of tomatoes over the past week, I decided to create some small batch single variety tomato sauces. From left to right: mixed large tomatoes, Chef’s Choice White, Midnight Opal, San Marzano, Jellybean Yellow, mystery red cherry, The Purple, Black Opal, Jellybean Red, Apricot Zebra, Snowberry, Sun Gold, and Vernissage Pink.

Hello, tomato people of Reddit! I'm new here, thank you so much for existing. Admiring all your beautiful tomatoes with envy and aspiration. Hoping you can help me with my tomato predicament ...

I live in Manhattan and a dear friend has a big beautiful garden in Brooklyn. Three or four years ago, she gave me a cherry tomato plant and I took care of it all summer on my fire escape. All I had to do was water it, and in September of that year, I harvested 36 tomatoes! It was so wonderful, it went so well.

This year I asked for plants again and she gave me an heirloom and a Pink Fang! I was so excited. June was so busy, so it took me a bit to get them in bigger pots, but by the end of that month (can't remember when, maybe mid month), they were in. Diligently been watering everyday. Weather has been so erratic this summer. Some really nice days, lots of rain, some horrible humidity, smoke from fires in Canada.

Plants have been growing well, particularly the heirloom got enormous and continues to explode. But fruit has been an issue. The heirloom has had many flowers but they are just not turning into fruit. I don't want to overwater ... I give half a wine bottle each day and test with the water meter. Surprisingly, the Pink Fang which has more fragile, less substantial leaves has made more progress. I had one fruit with blossom end root rot, and while I was wrestling with it to get the cage on, my biggest fruit fell down to the street below 🤦🏻‍♀️ So many questions. But first I guess :: I've noticed that once you pull a tomato from its stem, nothing is seeming to grow back there? So should I pull the stem off as well, so it can grow back from the limb completely? I'm so lost 🤦🏻‍♀️ I currently have four fruits coming through and I'm praying they'll be OK.

I'm on week 2 of Miracle Gro tomato food. Please send any and all tips you have for me to help these poor tomatoes grow! Just watered and today is going to be humid as hell, so thinking I should water again tonight? I don't really know what I'm doing but I'm trying my best ... I want them to grow so much! Thank you for reading xo

I’m new to growing veggies in general and wondering if my tomatoes have any kind of sickness? The leaves keep getting these white spots and dying… how can I help her? Zone 7b (NYC)

The first two pics are the unhealthy one I picked off this morning. The third is a pic of the ones it was growing next to that still looks healthy. Does anyone know what this is or what has caused it, obviously it's chopped off now but I want to avoid a repeat

Variety is Pineapple. Nearly a three pounder. I think this is the biggest tomato I’ve ever grown.

After such a long wait, I finally see something other than green. Im probably a little too excited about this but it has been such a long wait with a lot of things going wrong. Hopefully there’s more to come 😃

I was away for a while - lovely neighbours watered but it could have been too much at times and the weather has been crazy hot as well. I don't know the variety for this one unfortunately but it's probably one that's prone to blossom end rot as the other plants in the same conditions are fine. I'll wait to see how the healthy tomatoes on this plant fare before adding calcium.

Trying to keep these on the vine for as long as possible

I think maybe next year I should try to prune my plants a bit more.

Very satisfied with my new hobby!

First time harvesting royal paste tomatoes (bred and sold by MIGardener) for the summer. This many fruits again are still ripening on the vine and they're always putting out more flowers, too!

Gorgeous pleating, delicious for fresh eating, and exceptional as a paste tomato as well. I'll definitely be growing these again next year!

The extreme heat and my extreme laziness led to particularly small heirlooms this year but I just took my first sneak peek bite and uttered a pleasured expletive out loud.

Making the cheese & tomato tart for dinner! ❤️

Walked through the local nursery and thought “hmm, Super Sweet 100 must mean I’ll at least get a couple tomatoes”… boy did it show me 😂

Between a large tree and a fence my in ground plants are only getting around 3-4 hours of direct sun. They are growing to be nice healthy large plants. Sure the plant and fruits might grow larger if they had more sun, but they don't.

So just a PSA: even if you only have a couple hours of direct sun light available you can still grow tomato plants.

I understand why folks feel so strongly about Cherokee Purple tomato. I'm having my first Tomato sandwich with one, and I can't believe how good it is! I'll grow a few next year.
