Tomato Blight
« on: June 04, 2009, 08:24:09 »
How can you tell if the early signs are blight as opposed to interruption in watering/transporting stress. I have some leaves curled purply underside/yellowing on top/some dried out edging. Will take a photo tonight
ps no black bits

At this time of year, almost certainly transplanting / temp changes.  I would go by the stems rather than the leaves, look for dark patches particularly around the leaf nodes.
Best laid plans and all that

do plants recover from temp changes? That is exactly how mine look, although they are still seedlings!

As long as they havent been frosted then yes,  my Tomatoes always look so much healthier once they get into the ground - they take on a more even green and look stronger.

THe tomatos I planted out a few days ago seem to have perked up massively just foe being out of their 3" pots and in their final home (six of them in a builders bulk bag half full of soil and compost......
