Yellowing tomato plants

Oliveview · « **on:** April 26, 2008, 12:11 »

Some of my tomato plants have yellowing leaves- a couple of plants are all yellow

we have had very wet weather, almost 2 weeks (with a short dry spell in between) of very heavy rain. The toms are planted in the veg plot. The ground was really sodden- even after 5 days of no rain the ground is still on the damp side. We are now having high temperatures (mid to high 20´s even low 30s)
Any suggestions? should I pull up the plants that are going yellow?

As the soil dries out they should recover, so long as roots aren't rotten. Do they look otherwise healthy apart from colour :?: If so leave them.

They are much smaller than the other tom plants. Guess I can only leave them and see what happens. I´ve a Dr Hessy whatsit book somewhere, I could always hunt it out and see what he has to say!

Well, we know that your garden is not draining well, don't we? :roll:

If it is just a few plants - patchy soil still possible though - one would rather think they have something. Separating them, won't hurt anybody, whatever it turns out to be, plenty of reasons for yellow foliage.

Give them a good feed, for starters.
