Tomato Plants Failing
Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2016 2:11 pm
Hi,
I have just joined the forum in order to seek some advice from anyone who has had experience in growing tomatoes...
I have bought and built a greenhouse this year and started off growing tomatoes along with peppers and courgettes. The tomato plants were growing well until around a 7-10 days ago when the leaves on the bottom started to go yellow and more recently the stems and fruit have begun to discolour.
A local garden centre has suggested that the greenhouse being overcrowded may be the cause so today some of the plants were moved out in order to create more space.
One thing that bothers me is that one of the courgette plants which is outside the greenhouse and was doing well has now began to show similar symptoms.
Hopefully the pictures below will give some clues.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated,
Thanks.
