What's wrong with my tomato plants (pictures)

sammyroser

Hi guys, sitting in my garden today and I notice my tomato plants have got some dried out leaves, on closer inspection it has spread to all three plants (they were huddled together in an area to keep them safe from the wind)





Is it the dreaded blight? I only just adopted these plants and I haven't grown tomato plants since I was a child.

If it is blight what do I do? I've removed all the infected leaves so far.

Many thanks

It is not blight, the weather conditions across UK are not conducive to blight at the moment

It seems like wind damage to me, despite being huddled together

Personally I would not worry

Agree, possibly wind damage or scorch. Nip out the damaged bits, and keep your eye on things.

No this is not blight, looks like you have some insect chomping going on there, look under the leaves and see if you can spot something wrigly.

wind damage, some of my tomatoes are the same

I didn't think it was blight but as I had never seen it before I thought I had better check! Thanks all

The underside of leaf looks as if it may have early signs of leaf mould. - but it isn't that that has caused the plant damage.

Mine look the same after the recent gales.

Blight is not always clear-cut but is usually a browny-black area bounded with yellow. Any leaves like that should be removed immediately and not composted.
