tomato plants.

[goosander]

Some of my tomato plants seam to be withering from the top down while others almost beside them are doing well.
Any ideas how to stop this,
Thanks.

Any photos, Bob? They'd help!

[Beso]

have you been watering them?

[Jungle Jane]

If they're a cordon variety have you checked all the way down the stem for side shoots,sometimes a sneaky one grows,then the plant has to spend it's energy on growing that,maybe taking some energy away from the main growing tip?

Sorry, can't help without photo's - could be any number of things

[goosander]

Could someone help me put some photos up please.
Have been trying to use photo bucket but not use to all this technology.
Thanks.

If you have an Iphone/ Ipad you can upload them on there. Just click "Go Advanced" Once there there's a tiny picture of a tree, click up load from PC and pick which photo from your library.

If your uploading from photo bucket you need to copy the "Direct URL". Copy this in to the picture of the earth on the "Go advanced"

Or you can E mail me the picture if its on your PC and i can upload it for you.

Hope this works. Any idea of what is wrong.
Thanks.

Well done, Bob, you've mastered photo posting
Now we need to sort out your tomatoes.
In the last photo, have you cut the top of the plant? Is that because it was wilting?
I'm no expert but your plants look a bit tightly packed. Maybe not enough air circulating between them and the wilting ones are struggling?

Copied message from Bob

Have cut off the brown bits.
Have to many plants is this my problem as the ones at the back are ok and have more space.
Thanks for your quick reply.

I've copied your PM into the thread, Bob.
If sounds like it may be the cause if the spaced out ones at the back are OK- although they may be struggling too if there are plants in front of them competing for light.
Someone who knows more about tomatoes will be along soon to give you their opinion.

[skeggijon]

They are a bit tightly packed, but looks mainly like curly leaf due to lack of humidity and scorched leaves.
Quite a few of my plants look the same this year and I wouldn't worry too much about it.
It would help if you watered the floor of the greenhouse on hot days and I'd remove a few leaves to help the airflow, but you seem to have a decent crop of toms there

[Potstubsdustbins]

^^^^^^^^Good advice there, remove some of the bottom leaves and if necessary shade them a little. Apart from that looking good.

[goosander]

That's this mornings job.
Thank you all for your help.
