General Information

'Cherry' tomatoes freshly harvested.

Member of the Nightshade family ~ Related to Egg Plant, Peppers, Potatoes Tomatoes

Members of the nightshade family [ Peppers, potates and tomatoes] and walnuts do not like each other.  Produce an allelopathic chemical called juglone that inhabits the growth of all members of the nightshade family

Susceptible to early and light blight - builds up in the soil and gets worse every year.  Once a member of the family is planted leave the ground fellow for three years afterwards. Thus the blight problem is negated.
