These toms (Lossetto (bush))have been growing in my coldframe. Was just ready to plant them in pots when I noticed the brown leaves.
Is this the dreaded blight or some form of deficiency?

Looks a bit like sun scorch to me. Is it only affecting one leaf in the plant and are there any brown patches on the stem?Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poet -
I'd be guessing that those leaves have got a bit too damp at some point. There might be a bit of scorch there and it does look like a bit of mould. However, it doesn't look like blight.
I'd chop off the affected leaves and pot on / plant out. I'm also reckoning that those pots are quite small for the size of plant, there won't be many nutrients left and that will weaken the plants.Garden Grower

Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

I hope its not as I have one that looks pretty similar.Comment

For early blight flip the affected leaves over and look for pale patches of grey, particularly around the edges of the brown/yellow bits. Botrytis tends to be distinctly grey/brown and furry where active. What ever it is I'd cut right back all affected plant parts before it claims the whole thing.Location ... NottinghamComment

Looks to me like they're to big for the pots and have suffered from lack of water and nutrients leading to mold and scorching. Cut off the effected parts and replant in a deep pot right up to it's neck and keep watered.Hussar!Comment

There are some brown patches/speckles on a few leaves, nothing on the stems so far.Originally posted by roitelet View Post

Nothing to be seen on the underside of the leaves other than the brown showing through from the top.Originally posted by Mr Bones View Post
Yes, they are too big really. I was just waiting until I'd hardened them off before potting on/planting out.Originally posted by Richard Eldritch View Post
Just sun scorch then perhaps (she says with fingers crossed)?Comment
