Red Cherry and Supersweet 100 are spring tomatoes around here. Set them out in early March, and be eating in May/June. They're done by July. Never seen them come back.

I can't comment on those specific varieties but I can say more than once I was surprised when a tomato or pepper I planted in the spring that didn't give me much managed to really produce once fall hit. If they're established enough to have survived the summer and have produced anything i'd second what Omar said. Fertilize, compost and see what happens.

Maybe if you need some room you can pull some and leave the healthiest.

I wish I had some rhyme or reason why it happened some years and not others - I'd let you know. Probably a well timed rain as it cooled down that seemed to give them a second breath. Always did more than any amount of watering I did.

Back in July 2010 I put a parody song on my blog about giving the tomato plants a second chance - it kind of works if you're lucky. In some years plum tomatoes like 'Marzano' or small tomatoes like 'Juliet' have produced a second small crop if they survive to fall. But I haven't seen any of the big slicing types come back. Peppers like 'Gypsy' and 'Spanish Spice' can get a second wind in fall, too.

I get a second Fall crop from Celebrity.

Thanks guys for all the tips! I'll try another round of fertilizer and pull the ones that look past the point of no return. Hopefully that helps!
