Does this look ok....transplanted a week ago. I think looks like yellowing between margins?

I have to say that for a recently transplanted one ... that looks unusually healthy compared to mine!

Squeezyjohn, you have made my day :)
It's just odd that I've transplanted three varieties, with a few of each....same compost but two are showing start of yellowing within a week of transplant. Others are not.

Are you using seed compost might be a bit light on nutrients. Suggest an extra feed, it cannot do any harm.

Digeroo, I think you have cracked it. I usually mix multi purpose with John Innes. I think I've accidentally used some of the sowing mix for one batch....as others I potted up in a different day are fine and a third of my seed compost is gone.

it might be the cool nights we are having as you potted them on there is more compost to hold more water so it gets cold and the plant gets stressed its been really cold here on the sunshine coast today very windy so i took a pic of my alliums to cheer myself up and you can just see some tomatoes getting hardened off much to their distaste

Hector there are so many things that can make newly transplanted tomatoes in cold weather look a bit odd, it is probably 'just' a bit of lack of nutrients. Similarly purple edged leaves or curled up leaves are usually of no concern. Most of these rectify themselves quite quickly. And the cause is often just cold or a lack of nitrogen, or just 'sulking' after being planted out.
With young plants I would not assume that anything was amiss, unless they really don't pick up and thrive in a few weeks.

Most plants look a bit miserable for a week or so after planting out. They're normally just getting their bearings and growing their roots before taking off again.
