Three hard frosts seem to have done for my outdoor tomato plants.
The leaves have turned yellow and shrivelled up.
There are a few small green leaves at the top.
The plants are about sixteen inches high.
Is it worth leaving the plants for a while, to see whether they recover?
Or should they be removed immediately, to prevent disease?
Or what?



Err, outdoor tomatoes don't go outside until all chance of frost is
passed, after Chelsea say, first week in June in most places including
here. If they still have green leaves looking OK at the top it probably
was not frost as the top would usually be the first to get frosted, and
the leaves go black in my experience.
Sounds more like wind burn.



It was definitely frost: three hard frosts on the trot.
My fault for planting them out too early.
Any advice?

Scrap them, they will never thrive. Sorry !
