Just got back into gardening after many years of not bothering and

my own tomato plants from seeds I probably put them outside a bit too

them and not looking very good.
I Googled for an answer but I'm not sure I've had the definitive
reply
exactly, so far it's only the lower leaves and the plants have
started
to grow again after the sudden shock of all that cold rain...are they

martin godliman-

I had same problem with plastic greenhouse... trying to get early crop
in Southern Cal. I sprayed with very dilute Naccosan and cut off the
affected leaves. Removed plastic and all is Ok now.


Thanks for the replies Rondoc and the others I though when I posted I
was talking on a UK forum so by south I meant London ! but I guess
basic principles apply
I can't do anything until I know which of the replies are nearest to
what's going on for me I suspect higher fertility might be needed in
ground that has been uncultivated for some few years.
Thanks again.

If you have planted in the last two weeks, the soil fertility will have
little to do with it unless you are growing in a toxic waste site.
