Please save my tomatoes!!!

Kazonline

Hi all, hoping someone can come to my rescue! It's my first year of growing tomatoes - the tumbling tom I bought in a garden center seems to be doing well. However a neighbour kindly gave me a few of her tomatoe plants as she'd sowed too many. All has been going well except the past few days unpredictable weather meant I let them go a little dry (only a little for a short while- not even a full day)
They are now starting to look a little 'unwell'. The leaves have started to turn yellowish - is it anything I've done, and can it be fixed??? Fingers crossed someone can help.
Thanks,
Kaz x
PS - here's a piccie of the worst

If the soil is really dry, stick the pot(s) into a bucket and immerce the whole pot in water for an hour - then remove (otherwise they'll drown!).

Thanks oldrimes. I watered them thoroughly this morning - and now they are looking like this. I'm pretty sure the yellowness has come on suddenly..but I could be mistaken. I'm wondering whether a good feed might save them - but if it's some kind of tomato 'disease' I'm guessing I'd be better shifting the affected ones from the healthy ones?

twink

are you feeding them kaz? it doesnt look like a big pot so they will have used up all the goodness in the compost

Looks like it could be Magnesium deficiency, so give 'em a good feed, preferably with a tomato specific fertilizer.

Thanks twink and Jfdi. I have been feeding them, but probably far from regular enough so will nip out and give them a good dose this evening.
Thanks again to everyone for your advice,
