Sad, sad day. I killed it. sniff... snork

I was just... Oh it's so terrible. I read about pruning the sucker branches off tomato plants so more growth goes to the tomatoes. I was doing like the video and a vine came with the branch. It had wrapped around the branch and was hidden by the leaves. Mine baby, oh mine baby.... It's dark green and has a heft, but never grew much past 2-1/8" in diameter. So sad, so sad. Guess I'll have to eat it.

I feel your pain. I was much more emotionally invested in my tomato plants last year than this one. And my plants are the worse for it. I've just been overwhelmed with issues in my life. I knew that and didn't plan to plant tomatoes this year. Then my landlord gave me 8 plants in late June, a month after I would have normally planted them. I'll be lucky if five plants make it, more likely four (two are doing very well). Last year I had 9 plants heavily bearing fruit. I was awash in tomatoes. :-D

Orbs, the dark green was my watermelon. My watermelon is dead. Not the whole plant, the vine with the fruit. I was more proud of that little tennis ball fruit than any tomatoes. I'll take pictures of it's demise. Prob in a few days so I can share with Mom. :-)
