Looking forward to a curly top virus-resistant variety. My neighbor is the only other person growing tomatoes near me, and thinks it’s a miracle that he can continue to grow the same ratty infected vines for multiple seasons. His plants continue to infect mine and subtle hints and offers to buy him new plants have all failed. Oh well.
- jelliclesfarm 7y agoWhere are you located and how many seasons has kept them going? ETA: I had to look it up. I have never dealt with it. I usually rip out tomatoes at the first sight of any air borne disease..but they are generally so disease’y that I don’t grow tomatoes for market. Low margin..not enough profits. Most of the $ goes to labour anyways in a small farm. What varieties do you plant?
