Sorry-looking tomatoes

[OllieMartin]

Didn't need the costume for this one.


It's probably the soil that you grew them in. They certainly look starved of nutrients.

Compost has the nutrients in it to last for the first months of the plant's life.
Just re-pot them into larger pots with a good potting compost.

As you can see, the plants even have their first truss, so they are staying very compact, that is a sign of lack of nitrogen, not potash which they need for fruit production.

P.s they look a little dry as well, of course the cold didn't help.

I pinched both the picture and TK's diagnosis and treatment for the site. Hope you guys don't mind.

Tomatos are very difficult to kill...

Tell that to Jack Frost

I was actually wondering whether to add "except frost" but I thought it was a "given"! My commiserations, keep an eye on the forcasts and make sure you take precautions of some kind in future

You could also try an Epsom salts treatment as they look like their in magnesium. This could be because of the soil or could also be from over watering (water washing the nutrients out of the soil).

You can either mix the epsom salts and spray the leafs (but this can cause a problem with scorch in a sunny greenhouse). the other option is to water with the mixture.

i had a simila problem last year due to over watering and it did take a few weeks to get back to normal looking plants but they got there in the end.

Take King Carrots advice, its exactly what your plants need (I say that, now that I have seen your pics)
