Title: Tomatoes
Post by: Austin Brownlee on June 02, 2015, 10:22

Been growing tomatoes for a few years now and never had this prob
. The plants are about 1.5ft to 2 ft high with at least one truss on all. The tops all look healthy and lots of foliage.However the lower leaves have turned brittle and as such curling backover . Some have discoloured but not all. I thought at first they may have been hit by a late night chill but they havnt turned blue. Don't think its blight cos I can't see any nasty bugs ......help

Could they have got wet when watering and then scorched by the sun?

Funnily enough, about 10 minutes ago I striped all the lower leaves of my toms to aid circulation and I need to top up the pots with home made compost, Dave
