Tomato Problems

Things not good with tomatoes. The stunted plant was originally the better of the two.






This curled shoot tip is a sign of weedkiller damage. Roots have grown right down and out through holes at bottom of pot. Must have picked up some weedkiller from cracks in flags. Strange thing is, I don't remember using any weedkiller there. I never do. Another mystery.

I took a cutting from a sideshoot, which has now rooted. But I think it is too late to be of any use. Wouldn't fancy eating tomatoes off this plant, even if it recovers. Will keep it a while longer to see what happens.

Removed protruding roots and placed both pots on a plastic bin liner. Should have used one before. But they soon make everything look untidy.

Good news is that the better plant is really starting to grow now, after its bad start, weatherwise.

P.S. Tub insulation works a treat. Compost really cool, even in mid-day sun
