A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Food Garden Forum Help with Tomatos Any gurus on here?

I have started several varities of tomato from seed. I have
transplanted them into 16" pots with holes. I live
on an island in Coastal SC. I am growing the on a Porch facing
South. The plants are about 28" tall. recently the leaves arent
looking real good? How can I put an image (*.jpg) on here?

You'll need Photobucket, Picassa or that type of program to post a pic.
I'm wondering how much wind you've had from the south, and how much salt has affected the plant. Normally, I'd say not to let the leaves get wet, but in your case, you may need to rinse the salt off every couple of days. Could be any number of other things, too, pic's would certainly help. And in answerto your first question re: tomato guru's yes, several of us have some extensive knowledge of tomato growing. There's a good chance we can pin down your problem.

Thanks for the reply. I have some *.jpg from a camera. Can I e-mail a couple
to someone? The leaves have white area between veins on lower area of plant.
They are end up turning yellow and fall off.

zinc deficiency can cause yellow leaves and iron deficiency can cause
Spotted white areas on new leaves and upper parts of stem. New shoots may die if severely deficient.
