My toms have some sort of disease  ???

The lower leaves have a kind of rust on them, the newer leaves are ok.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Cat

Tumbling Tom ( the only one out a whole pkt full to germinate )   has about six tomatoes on it ...but  I dont think I,ll do tomatoes in hanging baskets again as it is such hard work watering , it just dries up too fast and I think the tomatoes will suffer eventualy from this . All the ones I,ve planted out are growing away fine ,as are the greenhouse ones in their large tubs...lots of flowers .   :) Rohaise

cat, as long as the new leaves are ok, I wouldn't worry, just remove the lower leaves  :)

Thanks Manicscousers  :)

I am so far behind it is stupid, I had to move house suddenly and missed my whole sewing routine. I have teeny plants a good month behind, I'm just hoping for some good weather in autumn.

When I moved I brought my compost heap with me, no way I was leaving that behind, some toms self seeded on top of the bins I had loaded into. These mystery toms are leading teh way for me, they're pretty much on schedule.

Ours are about 4`6" in the green house. really thick stems.

Most of my toms are tiny and still indoors. I sowed them last month.
A few that were sown in March have been planted out at the allotment and showing some flowers. They are Siberian, Japanese Black Trifle and Mexico Midget.

These are my "SubArctic" babies. I've put comfrey on the compost under the plants and some on top. Is this OK? Haven't done this before and gardening always seems to involve conflicting advice.

Mine are about the size of Andy's. If it does warm up tby the weekend, I'll probably start planting out, but I'm tossing up whether to start with the toms or the corn, which is about a foot high.

My toms are about 6in tall and have that i need to be put out look about them. :)

[Garjan]

My toms are outside for three weeks now and are still going strong. They are between 30 cm and 45 cm tall (depending on variety) and the first flower trusses are showing.

The two plants that were damaged by slugs are also doing OK.
Robert and TeeGee: Thank you for your advice  :-*
