What kind of tomatoes are these?

[sixboots]

Hello. I know this may be a futile question, as there are so many varieties, but the reason I'm asking is because the smaller, darker tomato plants I have are growing very slowly, and the lighter ones are growing really well. Even though they are 2 weeks or so younger, they've already doubled the smaller plants' growth.

I didn't buy the seeds. They were given to me, and I didn't ask what variety.

If anyone knows, please let me know. Any tips for the smaller, darker plants would be appreciated.

Also, I was given some heirloom, organic asian melon seeds, which I've planted. Upon searching on Google, I've found that there are several kinds of these melons as well. Would I need to wait until the fruit starts growing before asking what kind they are?

Here are links to the photos (they are shortened Dropbox links):

Edit: I just tried the links, and it forces you to download the pictures. I'm new to Dropbox, so am not sure how to share the photos any other way.

Thanks for any help you might offer.

Anyone?

Sorry, not going to download your pics onto my computer.

I would think it is pretty hard to tell what kind of tomato it is from looking at a picture of the plant anyway.

If you want people to see your pictures, post them at photobucket.com. They give you a code that enables you to paste the picture directly in here, so people don't have to go anywhere to look at them.

Sorry. I have a Photobucket account and didn't even think to use it. I've never shared pictures from it. I only use it for private storage, so let's see if I can paste the HTML here and get it to work.

Here are the plants:

Also, last night I noticed that something had eaten most all of the leaves of one of my plants. Not holes like a slug would put, but the whole leaves on most of the branches were gone.

Any idea what pest might be causing this? Could it be birds?

I had this problem earlier in the year as well. I was getting holes in some leaves and others were cut off at the stems. I set out a butter container with beer buried at ground level and caught a nasty little caterpillar, since then my beans have finally been able to grow.

As for ID, it's far too early to tell what you've got - we'd need to see tomatoes on the vine for ID on those, and all melons look alike when they're young....

Ditto what Lorax stated.

Ask that question in a month or two, you will get a better answer. Far too ealry now.

Good luck
