  • Are my tomatoes dying naturally?!?

    Doing the rounds yesterday, one tomato plant is looking REALLY sick! My understanding of blight is that it appears in brown spots first, but in my case the whole plant just looks half dead, browned off, but in a dead kind of sense, not with spots/fungus. It certainly isn't lack of water, the pot has drainage holes and I fed it not long ago. There are lots of tomatoes left to ripen on it, but I'm wondering if it's just given up. The nights have been quite cold, here and my garden is in a wind tunnel.

    Is it just giving up on any summer happening, or is it just at the end of its natural life? The others look ok, not perfect (they're also out in the open), but better than this poor specimen! Just wondering if I can resurrect it or should I just harvest the greens for chutney?

    I'd take the green toms for chutney. I don't think we'll get much more in the way of red tomatoes now. Too cold.

    If it was blight, you'd be seeing brown patches on the fruit.

      Thanks, Two Sheds, that's what I thought, about blight I mean. Off to look for chutney recipes, now!

        It seems a lot of people are having trouble with tomatoes plants this year - and not just blight. My friends' plants just look a bit sad - I think they just haven't had enough sun this season.
