Addition to "Bald Tomatoes"
ALso, they hardly grow. I buy 8" Patio plants, they don't move an inch, but they put out fruit. Last season, I grew the same Patio tomatoes, they all grew bushy and much taller, and put out fruit as well. This time, they remain short (8") become bald but bear fruit. Can anyone say what the problem is.

Did you plant them in a container or in the garden? It's surely warm down your way, so it can't be that they're lagging because of cool weather.

I planted them in containers on my back patio, gets 6 1/2 hrs of sun. I use MG organic potting soil, and Plantone fert by Espoma.
