Hi,

I have grown this Tomato from seed and have recently transplanted into
my garden. Not long after I did this the leaves started to yellow -
or get lighter. I am sure it is deficient in something, but I am
unsure what would be the best way to treat it. I soil tested one of
the other beds and the PH was above 7.0 - so I have applied sulphur to
it - the bed with the tomato was untreated - could the alkalinity be a
reason for the yellowing?

Thanks

Denise

(i am sure someone is more knowledgeable than me here, but straightaway
when you said you transplanted it i wondered whether the light source
was less direct in its new place. I tend to feed transplantings with
liquid fertilisers like watered on dynamic lifter or diluted Charlie
Cod. With my own tomato[e] growings i notice that when there is an area
with fruit around, the leaves underneath die off, and more than likely
another branch will appear that's been leaning on the beginnings of a
pumpkin vine or somat. This COULD be why people always say to nip off
the new buds between the branches!)

good luck
