    What's happening with my Toms?

    Only my third year at growing toms with some good success last year so I've gone for it this year with lots of plants. In the picture below is my moneymaker in the blowaway and I've noticed the top couple of branches have grown quite bug but have remained curled up as though their just starting, none of my other toms in the blowaway are doing this, but this plant is still growing fine, ANY IDEAS? REMEDIES?


    In the below picture I had three spare plants that were getting too big for the pots so I planted them out a couple of days ago next to a warm wall however two have just wilted, they've had fresh compost, soil a bit of fertiliser and plenty of water, what have i done wrong or will they recover.

    In my limited experience, the wilted ones will recover, no problem.

    I got lots of curly bits on my toms last year:



    (not the best pic, sorry). I panicked like mad, convinced I had some tomato-slaying disease. Everything fruited, all was well, some bits were curly.

    Which was nice.

    Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
    By singing-'Oh how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,
    While better men than we go out and start their working lives
    At grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dinner-knives. ~ Rudyard Kipling

      I wouldn't worry about the first one. The one's in the ground will probably recover but you may want to cover them with a cloche or fleece at night as the night time temperatures are still a bit low for toms to be outside.

        I'm quite happy to risk the three extra without fleece, it's boiling here at present and having just worked a set of nights, I know it still really hot then. If only they could speak. Doesn't stop me talking to them though.

              It may feel boiling to us limeys, but tomatoes are from S.America. They need a min temp of 10c (day & night).

              Even more important is to harden off for 7-10 days before they get planted outside... did you do that?

                certainly did, the plant in question was hardenned off lovely and had been growing fine in it's position before this started
