Orange Blossom Tomato question

[zaika]

I put three kinds of tomatos in the ground back in May. Two Early Girls, one Taxi, and one Orange Blossom. The first two are doing amazingly well and are already heavy with tomatos. The Orange Blossom, however, is barely growing, and there is just now one tiny tomato beginning to grow.

I treated that plant the same as the rest, so I can't figure out why it's not getting on so well. The plant itself isn't wilting or being eaten or anything like that. It just...won't grow as fast as the others.

Any idea what might be going on?

Thanks!

Try hilling it like you would a potato. The root system will get better since maybe a stone r something is dwarfing it!

Early Girls and Taxi are just that--early! Your Orange Blossom is just a little slower. Be patient. You have three very good varieties of tomatoes, but they will mature at different times.

Funny you both replied today, I was on my way to post a picture of what it looks like. Because it got warm, and the sweet thing grew and tomatoes popped up and now this:

I've fertilized it, kept it watered, weeded the area...even sprayed something to help avoid rot. The other tomato plants are starting to show signs of doing the same thing, but they are still going strong.

Thank you for your replies, I do appreciate it!

It will grow give it time I have heard it being very early and others say it was slow.

It is a determinate as well.

Ooh I see the pic and not to be rude but that is not looking good. Is it late blight?

[zaika]

lol that's not rude, it's just the truth! It's really sad looking! I'm not sure what it is...hoping to get some tips. I'm a very new gardener.

I can't tell from that pic try to get some closeups. I have to go now but this link should be able to help you.

Good luck.

Don't water it to late at night may help it. Also cut anything touching the ground or raise it up! I still say hill it around the stems with ome good top soil;!
