Tomatoes That Last

Give tired tomato plants a boost to keep producing into fall. Unless your plants are completely blighted, they can bounce back as the weather cools off a bit.

Clean the plants up by removing dead stems and yellowed leaves, tie up wayward branches, and fertilize with a water-soluble fertilizer to aid in new growth.

Spray the foliage with a product such as Garden Safe Fungicide 3. This contains clarified hydrophobic extract of neem oil, which acts as an insecticide, miticide and fungicide. Enjoy a fall crop of tomatoes!
