Tomato plant problem?

[workhorse]

Help please.
I have recently noticed that one or two of the top leaves of my tomato plants have started to turn grey and crispy around the edges. Is this a problem and if so, what is the solution.

Are they indoors or out and are you able to post a picture please?

They are indoors, but do not know how you post pictures to this forum

[shirlthegirl43]

The method I use to post pics is to choose my picture on the pc, edit to make it small enough to meet the forum requirements (click on the paperclip just above where you type your reply - it then tells you how big each type of file should be) and simply follow the instructions. Sorry, not great with technical help descriptions.

Hi Shirley

I have managed to work out how to post the pics. so here are some showing the problem.

Looks like they might have got a bit of water on the leaves then had the sun on them. They go crispy in those conditions. If the rest of the plant is doing well, I wouldn't worry too much. Keep an eye on them.

Well done on the pictures. Sorry, not sure what the problem is but I have seen leaves like that on my plants when they have been sat against the glass and been scorched with sun on bits that are damp from condensation (sorry clear as mud explanation there). I am sure someone will be able to help now there are pictures though.

Take a look here and see if any of these fit your description

To post a picture within the body you need to have it hosted somewhere, if you can't do that I am happy to do the deed for you - will pm you my email, send over pic and up it goes

ah ha - ignore me

Thank you so much for your help. It has given me peace of mind. I must also say that you are a great bunch of folk, for its like having the best gardening book on line for advice and information.

I hope you never find out that we are making it up as we go along! Seriously, there's lots of experience here, and the more you have, the more you realise that plants WANT to grow, and generally speaking they can cope with a lot of what life, the weather, and we, throw at them. Many problems you can have with your plants are not serious to the plant. Some are, and no amount of knowing what it is can prevent you losing the crop. You just need a bit of balance. Most things clear up!

Nicely said Flummery. I have learned so much from the good people on the vine. Often I surprise myself with what has percolated into my hopeless brain
