  • Mouldy Tomato Leaves

    A few of the leaves on some of my tomato plants in the Greenhouse have gone mouldy, (discoloured leaves and sort of "furry" on the underside..,) I have attempted to remove the affected leaves. reading up on this, it seems it might be due to :
    Overwatering?
    Lack of ventilation?
    Plants too close together?

    ...and I am convinced this damned weather isn't helping!!!!!!

    Am I likely to loose all my plants?

    Any suggestions please...

    I think this might be my greenhouse ( very amateur) and other trivia blog page!!! Do feel free to drop in !

    Remove and dispose of affected leaves and try and increase the air flow ........

        Unless the temps is less than about 12C I'd keep the door and windows open, and remove all bad leaves as binley says.
        I got it last year and if you can keep doing it you can save most of the plants. I only lost 2 plants cos the stems of those went mouldy right through

            Have done as directed VC (although a bit chilly for that sort of behaviour...) now I presume, I just have to wait and see??????

                Wow, this must be a first - a fella who does as I suggest
                As for what happens next, we must just hope that something grows and doesn't drop off

                  In this weather you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference!!!!

                        Maybe, one day, they'll perk up a bit..............Its surprising what a bit of sunshine and fresh air can do.......

                            Or: - Two old men in deckchairs
                            One says "Nice out innit?"
                            The other "Yes, think I'll keep it out!"

                              Having a bit of a problem with mould on my toms aswell, I'm pulling off any leaves that seem infected, and have had the doors windows open during daylight hours, I'd leave it open at night, but its sometimes pretty cold, and it would be full of slugs/snails by the morning

                              really wish the weather would get better asap
