Another Tomato Problem

[goodmow]

I don't know if my tomatos have got too wet or too cold but the leaves now look droopy and have white patches on them.
Are they finished or can i resurect them?

a - where are you?

b - where are they?

[welcome to the Vine by the way]

I'm in Bucks my tomatos are outside now.

[zazen999]

Outside now.

Where were they before?
Did you harden them off?
How long have they been outside?
Are they in a sunny/shady/windy position?
Is the compost wet or dry?
How are you watering them?

Just give your name rank and number

lol @ Fi

It could be anything - a tad more info would help

I suspect overwatering - or underwatering - or too cold without hardening off.

White patches usually means the leaves have got seriously wet and then the sun has scorched them. It's not fatal! If there are still green shoots at the top and the flowers are showing and setting, I'd not worry. Actually, I never worry about much! Plants want to grow and usually succeed despite us!

I take the same approach as Flummery and don't worry to much about the things that I'm growing. Looking at the general run of threads most of the people just starting out on the road of growing your own want the plants to be in pristine condition (as you would see in the supermarket) but the reality is that growing your own is not like that. Plants do get spots, blemishes and marks, leaves get nibbled and ragged. But in general plants will get over most of these and unless the plant looks in a bad way the odd leaf is not going to be detremental to it's well being.
