44515Q.Tomato leaf fungus
Once again I am seeing tomato leaves starting to yellow at the bottom of some of my plants. I covered the soil below the plant with newspapers and mulch to prevent splashing. I have drip irrigation. Any good ideas to stop this?

August 3, 2017A.I would not worry about the fact that they are yellow. At this stage of the growing season it is quite in order to remove the bottom leaves of tomato plants to enable the light to ripen the fruit.

August 2, 2017Q.blossom end rot
How often do I give the tomatoes a bath of limestone water? I've got almost 200 tomato plants...and they've all got blossom end rot. We're in a drought area, hard hit, and our well is being over worked.

Certified ExpertA.If your tomatoes have all ready developed Blossom End Rot, combine 4 level Tablespoons with 1 gallon of water and apply as a foliar spray. Apply to the leaves two to three times per week. The ideal application rate is 1 gallon of solution for every 20 to 50 square feet of garden. Foliar spray of Calcium Nitrate is not the perfect cure for Blossom End Rot. Use a regular watering schedule and fertilizer application for healthy plants.

BelfastQ.Tomatoes
I planted up what I thought was Moneymaker tomatoes, but I now have plum tomatoes. There has been an error in the packaging dept, but my question is this. These plum tomatoes are an amazing custard yellow colour and don't look like they want to turn red. The leaves are now twisting . Are these tomatoes edible and do they have a name? My other tomatoes ie Gardiners Delight and Sweet Aperitif are doing great.

August 14, 2017A.It would be difficult to identify tomatoes from an image, there are so many!!!
This is obviously a yellow variety and it appears you have many that are ripe and ready to enjoy.
Curled leaves can indicate a pest issue, or even just aging leaves.
Your plant looks quite healthy and despite the variety being wrong, it appears to be healthy and happy.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/tomato/tips-for-growing-tomatoes.htm

McDonough, GAQ.Plant bounty.
When should I expect to eat from my tomato plants? The tomatoes are currently green.
- Answered by
MichiganDot on
August 14, 2017A.This is largely dependent on temperature. Tomatoes like nighttime temps above 60 and the hotter the better during the day (within limits, I suppose). Cool weather will slow ripening. If the tomatoes are full size, expect ripening to happen within 2 weeks. It is ready for picking when it falls into your hand with only the gentlest of tugs. That last bit of ripening is worth the wait!

Some of my plants have been prone to these type of symptoms this year and I would like to know what can cause this type problem so I can prevent it from occurring next year. The symptoms are leaves are getting black spots and then eventually completely dying off however the plant seems to regroup and look healthy for a moment and then it starts all over again mostly my tomatoes and cucumbers and catnip

August 16, 2017A.This leaf spot can be caused by bacteria or fungus issues.
It would help to know the type of plant that you are referencing.
