The outdoor tom's have all succumbed to blight.   I've still got my fingers croosed for those plants in the greenhouse,  but there is so much foliage for so few fruits.  It's the same on all varieties.

Cheers,  Tony.

Too much Nitrogen in the feed?

My Crimson Crush are still going leaps and bounds outside; Sungold and Roma VF all taken by blight. The taste of Crimson Crush is not too bad and they look fantastic on double cordons and are full of fruit. I'm getting a reputation for my tom's on my site .

Too much Nitrogen in the feed?

I was thinking about a mineral imbalance.  I'll keep your comments in mind come next years attempts!

Seems you hit the nail on the head.

"Absence of Fruit

Perhaps the best indication that a tomato bed contains too much nitrogen occurs when the plants produce lush foliage but little or no fruit. Sometimes blossoms also fall off in the presence of excess nitrogen. Early fertilization of tomato seedlings may simply delay flowering and fruiting until some of the nitrogen is washed away. Besides fostering heavy leaf coverage, extra nitrogen causes vines to grow to great lengths with few tomatoes to support".
