Tomato Problems
Son is trying to grow tomatoes this year, he is growing them in a
plastic covered "Growhouse", some leaves appeared very dry and brittle so Neighbour suggested we open the plastic more and water more this seems to have taken off the worst of this "dryness". Now the leaves are getting brown-yellow spots on them asked the neighbour again and his only idea was Gray leaf spot is this a keep it till it gets better job treat the plants in some way (if so what way) or throw the lot away?. Could the earlier "dryness" just have been the start of this latest problem? Had a quick look around Google but there was nothing that shouted out to me. I have included a link to a JPEG of what the leaves look like. There doesn't seem to be any "creepy crawlies" wandering about so doubt some sort of infestation. There appears to be no fungus on the leaves. I have included all the (what I think is) relevant information but if you need more info don't hesitate to ask on cheesewebcurlycuehotmaildotcom . The more I read the bumph about Gray leaf spot the more I am convinced this/that (?) is the problem http://www.sidtech.co.uk/iu/soup93987905146.JPG -- This space intentionally left blank. |

Side shoots have not been removed. The damaged leaves may have been burnt by sunlight as a result of them having been sprayed with water, otherwise the plants appear to be healthy. Remove the worse of the damaged leaves and any new sideshoots, create maximum ventilation and everything should be fine. Regards, Emrys Davies. |
