Ya the rest of the plant seems fine,i need to get around to shading the plants as well i guess,it's all new at the mo,just put the greenhouse together a couple months back.I have heard that tomatoes dont like extreme conditions like been 30 degrees plus during the day and then very cool at night.

I think your tomatoes will recover Barry but I don't think they will want to go on living in extremes of temperatures. You can protect them from leaf scorch during the day and cold temps at night by covering them with fleece til you get something permanent sorted out.

Don't forget the night/evening time heat Barry - I have run electricity to the green house and have a thermostat controlled heater – I monitor the temperature with a min max thermometer - Yesterday I popped down at 3 ish usually nice and warm in the greenhouse I went in and the heater was on full and the temperature was only hovering around 10 degrees!
Hope they are fine
Regards
Pat

They tend to yellow as a response to cold. You need them in heat in the greenhouse or, like me, bring them into the house at night.
