Sick looking Tom Leaves
« on: June 23, 2014, 05:43 »
Hi all, is this anything to be worrying about?

could it be tobacco mosaic virus perhaps?

Looks more like the lower leaves that have run their course. I take it the upper ones look OK?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

i read that aspoirin dissolved in water and sprayed onto tomato plants can prevent a lot of ailments, anyone tried it?

as stated before this looks like the lower leves a are spent assuming the rest of the plant is ok

Phew.
Thanks for the replies, the top leaves and the rest of the plant is fine, i was a bit worried because it was only one plant out of four that was affected. its only my second year growing, every days a school day :)

and upthetump, i had heard about it being put in cut flower water to prolong the flowers so i googled it and found this. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2625661/Problems-growing-tomatoes-Feed-ASPIRIN-say-scientists-fight-disease-boost-yield.html
