Hi,

My tomato leaves have started to change colour recently, does anybody know why?

Thanks!

Looks like it's just the lower leaves - they're the oldest and have done quite well to still be there at all!  ;)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

I tend to cut some but not all of the leaves off at this time of year both to help the fruits ripen and to cut down the risk of infections.
It is normal for the leaves to change colour.

At least they are not blighted  :D :D .. you can cut them off as they are old now and will let air flow around the plant easier.
