I got rid of most pest bugs by planting Marigolds among the tomatoes.

Temperatures in Florida and the entire world are predicted by climate scientists to increase for at least the next 8 years. This is due to population increase and corresponding CO2 in the upper atmosphere.

One thing Florida doesn't seem to lack are pests. Bug larva, fungus, mites...no time of year seems to be without them. I've been using Neem Oil which seems to do a pretty good job of controlling them but in order to work you pretty much have to get the leaves wet top and bottom and the stuff is pricy: about $12 for a 32 oz. spray bottle from Amazon. Lowe's carries something called Fungicide3 that claims to kill pretty much any critter that might be plaguing your plants; "fungicide-insecticide-miticide", that I'm going to try when the neem oil runs out.

Hate to use these pesticides when trying to grow food we will eat.

Not enough hours of sun in the fall and too cool at night, you'll get fruit but they won't ripen well and they will be small. I planted spring tomatoes for several years with good success, I started seeds indoors and put them out in April. I used a lot of miracle grow as even if you use garden soil in the ground the sand around it seems to pull the nutrients out the miracle grow did wonders for them. I did not use pots, plant them directly in the ground.

Sounds like too much nitrogen-large plants with no fruit. Perhaps, being hit with lawn fertilizer.

Our soil is high PH-loaded with lime. Typical PH is 7 or 8. Adding sulfur and organic matter will work but it is not an instant process. Now is a good time to build soil to be planted next year. A soil test is inexpensive and a good idea to know what to do.

Simon Seed was an excellent source for vegetable plants. Unfortunately they folded when the pandemic hit and never came back.

Here’s a picture of my wife’s grow tower. We got over 100 tomatoes from one plant. Setting it up now for this season.
