Hello,
A few days ago I noticed some wilting leaves on one of my tomatoes (Sungold). At first I thought it could be too much water, as there was some heavy rain after I had already watered them. (I'm in London, the plants are on a patio, in large tomato planter grow bags, 30-40L, in good quality compost). Then I even considered the plant roots were distressed by the squirrels, who at this time of the year start to hide nuts from a neighbouring tree in my pots, and there was some serious sign of digging in this particular planter. I waited for a couple of days hoping its something that will pass. But it's getting worse, more and more leaves started wilting.
I noticed some of the wilting leaves are also yellowing, especially on the lower branches, but that only started after the wilting. Also a couple of brown spots, but only on 3-4 leaves. The top of the plant seems fine and is full of flowers and fruit. There are no other signs, such as mold etc. Some aphid spots, but nothing serious.
I have more than 20 other tomato plants and they all seem fine.
I'm starting to wonder if this could be blight? Something else?
Thanks!
