just been into the greenhouse and noticed on a couple of tomato plants - in second pot now - on a couple of leaves just around the edges they are coloured like a gold colour, looked elsewhere but cant find anything else, no spots of any sort, anyone know what it is?:eek:

    Are they touching or right by the glass? At this time of year I would think sun scorch.

    Bet the soil is wet rather than damp, in which case too much water is the problem.
    The edges of the leaves turn yellow before turning brown/dead bits when over watered or too strong/too much feed.
    They will recover if you make sure they have drainage and let them dry out a bit.

    I had this, it started at the bottom of the plant, just the bottom two leaves on one of my cherry toms. I googled a bit and it seemed to be caused by overwatering - so I cut back on the watering (I'd been showering them 2 times a day) to one morning water only and the plant is now lovely and green again.

    I think it's unlikely to be sun scorch at this time of year and with the weather we've been having.
