Brown tomato leaves

Cliecost

Hi,

Quick one.

Below is a pic of my tomato leaves.

The leaves have brown spots, is this normal?

It's a pick-a-tom variety.

Thanks.

The lower leaves of tomatoes do degrade a bit, especially with plants as well on as yours are. It doesn't look like a disease to me, some people would (carefully) remove the leaves to allow maximum light for ripening the fruit, personally I would leave these on a little longer because they will still be doing their job. Good toms, though, well done!

It might be sun burn r wind damage. Water drops after watering can focus light and cause burn too. Your tomatoes are nice and early.

I have a tube in the centre of the pot to focus the water down in the roots. They live outside.

I have never grown tomatoes before, I'm just taking it as it comes and posting on here if I don't know or can't find out.

Is it normal for no new buds to form? Does it grow what it has now and then just stop?

Thanks

GOSH! Fruit already?! I'm at least 6 weeks behind you, probably more!

I didn't realise the plant was early...

It's in a real 'sun-trap' part of the garden so maybe that helps.
