Red tomatoe leaves
« on: April 22, 2013, 20:49 »
I know this is from the cold but my toms got them and are still growing strong not leggy with nearly 2 sets of true leaves, being put out the greenhouse in the morning and coming in, in the night.

Is this going to cause me a problem for the future crop?

Might sound a daft question Bravemurphy but why do you put them outside at all at the moment. I keep mine as cosy as possible in the PT night and day until the temperatures stabilise.  Even I am feeling the cold when the sun goes in so they certainly would too.

I potted them on and now got over 100 tom plants  ::)

just  not got room for them in the house all day they would be without light.

the greenhouse temps in the day are fine for them but I think I have been caught out in the evening by sudden drops in temp and sudden cider moments well one at least  :)

Last year my toms simply stopped growing for about 3 weeks when they were 8" high.  They looked OK.
Then they turned a blue tinge and wilted to just the stalk left standing, but only after 3+ weeks of just sitting there.

If yours are really still growing then you might be OK.   

Sometimes my plants grow despite, not because of, what I do to them.

Ok that makes sense. Especially the cider moment. My delicates have often suffered at the hands of a Chardonnay or three. :-)

A lot of people have reported that they dont recover after getting very cold.

 I hope yours are ok.

There was a frost yesterday morning, and weather is going to drop again this weekend
When weeding, the best way to know if its a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull it.

If it comes out easy, it was a valuable plant !

You could try a little feed that favour nitrogen, to see if that'll perk them up?
