I have never had any problems with Brandywine tomatoes. As with all tomatoes:
Good Soil (fresh every year no diseases from last year), even watering, as with other
tomatoes let them dry out so they are a little bit wilted sometimes, espoma plant-tone,
no more than 1 tablespoon of organic urea per plant over a couple of square feet if
the leaves are not the healthy "blue green", allow plenty of area for the wind to blow on
the plants ... less fungus ... and keep some native perennials and grasses close by.
They bring in beneficial insets and wasps.
