  • Tomato leaves turning yellow.



    On the bottom leaves, hoping it is not a mosaic virus, don't think it is but I'm no expert, the depth of soil is not too good there, maybe it's due to watering splashes?

    Could be scorch of some kind. Give the a feed and maybe a dose of Epsom Salts - could be magnesium deficiency.

      Thanks I will try that, it is one of the sunniest spots the more shaded plants do not seem to have much of a problem.

        If they are in direct sunlight in this weather there is a good chance its sun scold, where the sun overheats the sap in the leaf.

          They are in one on the sunniest spots in my rather sheltered garden they are in the shadow of the garage rather than the house so they get the sun most of the day apart from the very early morning.
          The get the full afternoon and evening sun. The plant next to it is similar. The ones behind it and closer to the fence don't have the problem.

          I just noticed it has a plum tomato on it. I never know which plant is which until I can see the fruits forming as I always get them mixed up however much I try to to label them.

          I think in future I will tie a tag to the plant rather than sticking something in the soil that way it can't get lost during reporting as mine in variably do but I expect that has drawbacks too.
