Hello all. I' trying to grow some veges in our small garden for the first
time this year. Mainly in pots. I've got three tomato plants that look
like they're infected with something. Pictures available at
www.rupespad.com/drf/tom1.jpg and www.rupespad.com/drf/tom2.jpg
Anyone have any suggestions as to what it is, and the best way forward? It
has been appalingly wet over the last week or so, so I'm wondering if this
may be the problem, and whether they might recover if they get a decent
amount of sun.
The plants were planted in pots containing grow back compost, so
contamination from old soil shouldn't be a problem (though the supporting
canes were one's that were just lying around in the garden). The photos
were taken yesterday, this morning they plants are looking significantly
worse with more dropping of leaves and stems.
My first thought was "essential mineral deficiency", possibly
magnesium. If you've had that much rain maybe all the goodness and
nutrients have been washed out of the pots.
You could google for Epsom Salt treatment. Shouldn't do any harm
even if the answer lies elsewhere.
Get some good proprietary tom feed on them as well.
