Yup, same here. Good early results but then everything started giving up. Plus lots of cracking this year from the uneven weather. We started ripping the plants out a couple of weeks ago and replanting with fall stuff.How did everyone's tomatoes do? The beginning of the season for me saw big tomatoes before the mid-sized size and then a decent yield from the early girls and rutgers. But then, it kinda all stopped, even the cherries. Now I have a bunch of green fruit and the plants look ok and some are starting to change. A few neighbors and my dad (in York, PA) saw their tomatoes 100% die off in mid-August.
@Roadie what fall stuff are you planting?Yup, same here. Good early results but then everything started giving up. Plus lots of cracking this year from the uneven weather. We started ripping the plants out a couple of weeks ago and replanting with fall stuff.
All done a few weeks ago and it didn't help that the squirrels got to them. The cherries have a few left. Some plants started dying about a month back.How did everyone's tomatoes do?

What do you do at the end of the season? Do you just chop all the plants like some flowers and they will come back stronger next year or do you cultivate everything and replant new seeds? Total newb
What the others said, I rip out but it seems a few always manage to sprout up and sometimes in adjacent gardens.What do you do at the end of the season?

All the tomato, squash Cumberland etc plants get ripped out. We don’t compost them. Stuff like chard, kale and collards are left in the ground. We have had them survive the winter and come back to produce in the spring.What do you do at the end of the season?

We are getting some figs but they are not as plump as prior years and they are on the small side. This cold snap definitely isn’t helpingthis weather is not helping the fig production.
usually have to eat them right off the tree around this time of the year.
