Growing tomato plants?
That might be a sign of them not getting enough air or water. They should be moistened at all time especially since you just planted them. I wouldn't worry about it too much, it happens, i'm not too sure where your keeping them. If they're outside bring them to a warmer place and if they're inside bring them out.
Reply:Larger containers





FWIW An Heirloom indeterminate plant needs 3 ft dia and 3 ft deep for maximum growth








The fruit load of a plant is determined by the size of the root ball, size of the main stalk , and the amount of foliage

Reply:It is natural for plants to go thru a bit of transplant shock,which can include leaves turning color and dropping off.Make sure outside night time temps are over 50(temps under 50 cause blossom drop) and cover young plants with a dome of some sort to help retain heat,(tomato's like heat)open up or remover cover during warmer days until temps are steadily warm and plants are established,keep evenly moist at all times,not wet,fluctuating water levels will cause blossom end rot.I also recommend miracle grow plant food for tomato's.As long as you have used a large enough container for the variety of tomato's you are growing ever thing will be fine. Happy Gardening !!

Reply:do you have enough drainage for the type of pot they are planted in?
Reply:enough space, enough light and enough water....harvest a fruit soon for sure.
Reply:Tomatoes are among America's favorite plant to grow! Welcome to such a fantastic world. Yellow leaves suggests a nitrogen problem. Your tomatoes need more nitrogen. To fix the problem, spray plants with a solution of fish emulsion. A slower method would be to add grass clippings to the soil and turn them under. As they decompose, nitrogen will be added to the soil. If you need an immediate solution, go out and buy some tomato fertilizer. They actually make fertilizer specific to tomatoes, so look for it. The fertilizer will add nitrogen to the soil which will act as a sudden "boost" of energy to the plant.





Unfortunately, if the above methods do not work, you may have to destroy the plants. Disease can travel easily from one plant to the next, so if you do not destroy the infected plants, the others are at risk. The good news is this: it's time to plant seeds NOW for this year's tomato season. By starting seeds indoors, NOW, you can have transplants ready for the May planting season.





To plant seeds, go to the hardware/garden store and get some peat pellets. By adding hot water, they expand and you get a nice pellet of peat. Place one-three seeds into each pellet, being sure to thin to one seed per pellet after seeds have germinated and the first leaves appear. Grow these plants until the roots penetrate the walls of the peat pellets, at which time you need to move them to jif pots or peat pots.





Remember, tomatoes are heavy feeders, and need lots of water and nutrients to do well. They also like to be planted in the same place year after year, unlike other vegetables.





As a last resort, take a cutting of the infected plant to your local cooperative extension (usually associated with a college) and let them examine the damage. They can tell you what to do (a local gardening center migh be able to as well). Good luck!
Reply:sounds like fertility to me. Add some water soluble fertilizer to them. You should also check to see if the soil is wet or moist. could be too much water. Last--was there a frost ?---- they may have gotten frost bit?
