The leaves are truning yellow and falling off my tomato plants. Dont know what I am doing wrong. I am going to put some epsom salts down and water in. Any ideas please.
I bought 2 tomato plants money spinner & ailsa craig, planted outdoors in June in a shelltered sunny spot. Lots of big green fruit on both plants but no sign of them turning red, is it too late now for them to ripen and if so what did I do wrong?
I have an angel trumpet, which is flowering at present...it has grown very tall and I would appreciate it if you have any advice on the best way to prune it after flowering.
Noticed today that a lot of the tomatoes in my greenhouse are developing clusters of white rings, slightly raised on the skin. They look very similar to pictures of tomatoes with ghost spot. What can I do? Can I prevent it spreading? Are affected tomatoes inedible? Will I be able to grow tomatoes in greenhouse next year?
Tomatoes been eaten and leaves the same
Should I be cutting of all the side leaves, without fruits, on my tomatoes plants, or shold I keep some on? Thanks, Maire
I have a plastic greenhouse and I am growing, aubergine, melon, cucumber, chillies and tomatoes (big boy, moneymaker) I bought some of the tomato plants from a garden centre and others I was given. The leaves on my tomatoes are beginning to go yellow at the ends, this gardaully creeps up the leaves to the stem of the plant, they then turn brown and detach from the stem. There are lots of flowers but no fruit forming, the flowers are just falling off. What is it and how do I resolve this problem?
I am growing 24 tomato plants in my tunnel. 7 varieties. Moneymaker, Big Boy, Brandywine, Gardeners delight, Red Cherry, Cristal and Roma VF. All grown from seed. problem with Roma: Pinched out side shoots, same as others, then found all Roma had stopped producing growing points at top. So next time a sideshoot appeared I tried to leave it so it would continue to grow. But the plants are now a complete mess, sideshoots everywhere and hardly any decent fruits. I'm disappointed because I was looking forward to getting nice plum tomatoes. All others (except Gardeners Delight and Red Cherry that have been attacked by greenfly) are doing fine. What am I doing wrong with Roma? Is it really for growing outside as a sprawling bush?
Sun Gold tomatoes are supposed to be cherry type but they are growing much larger, bigger now than medium tomatoes. What's the reason?
Can you tell me why tomato leaves are looking like rolled up cigarettes? Sun Gold variety.
