The leaves on my tomato plant (in a container) are turning yellow and curling up. Can you tell me why? The evenings have been cool. Does that have something to do with it?

May 6, 2011Q.What to Do About Symphylans
These bugs are killing my plant (I think). I noticed the growth in the last couple of days slowing down on my tomatoes. So my buddy said flush the soil and all these bugs floated up, so I instantly got on the computer and searched to see what they are and they were Symphylans! They say to get rid of them by deep tilling or pesticide. I won't use pesticide, and I don't want to disturb the roots. I was thinking that every 4 days I could just flush out the 2-gallon pot with about 4 gallons of water and drown them. Would this work?

May 9, 2011Q.Planting Tomatoes
My dad and I are looking to plant a very small tomato garden on our deck. Probably just one plant. We want to build a small area - wood around the bottom and probably wire fencing around the sides. Can you advise on how large it should be, including how deep or how much soil we'll need? Is there a specific type of soil we should be purchasing? Type of tomato plant?

May 10, 2011Q.Yellow/Wilting Potted Tomato Plants
I have 3 tomato trees and 3 big early tomato plants. I have them currently in a 20-inch pot in my house until the weather warms to transplant them to much larger garden pots outside in a few weeks. My 3 tomato tree plant leaves are yellowing and wilting. I do have some growth on each plant; however, very small. I have only had them for approximately three weeks now. What do I do about the yellowing/wilting issue for now? I know they need a bigger pot, but this is what I have for now.

Certified ExpertA.They likely lack fertilizer, specifically nitrogen. Give them a little fertilizer and that should fix it.

May 12, 2011Q.Tomato Plants
I planted my tomatoes from seed on a west-facing window sill. All the seeds germinated, and I then transplanted them into small individual pots where they continued to grow well. When the weather warmed up, I transferred them to the greenhouse and they all continued to thrive. About two weeks ago, I transferred them to grow bags in self-watering pots (pots have an outer ring which I fill with water when required). All was well until I noticed about a week ago that some of the leaves on quite a few of the plants were a pale yellow and some have started to curl inward. Could this be due to the weather turning cold? The greenhouse is fairly protected and faces south. Plants still appear to be growing well despite what is happening.

Certified ExpertA.It could be the weather or it could be a mild case of sun scald. If the sun intensity changed quickly before the plants could adjust, the leaves will turn that pale yellow. But this can also be caused by cold weather.
