Some of the tomatoes are doing…this. the leaves are withered like and crunchy. Not all of the plants, a number are doing just fine. The leaves in the photo are wet because it just rained although it has been extremely hot the last few days here in NJ. What silly thing am I doing wrong? Thanks!
Unfortunately all my ability to take good photos is low buy my ability to describe has been described as ‘ok’
The are still green leaves, although crunchy like particularly nice fall leaves but they don’t just disintegrate when touched. They curled under, towards the ground and not up towards the sky. Usually it is the leaves at the very top of the plant, but not always, sometimes it’s also leaves lower down. Despite it, they are still producing flowers and growing albeit slower than their non crunchy buddies.
I’ve seen no aphids but I’ve seen several ladybugs in all stages so if there are aphids, they get eaten pretty quick.
I water once a day of when I go out around 6am the earth is dry. I use tap water that is both faucets set to on and feels lukewarm to me. I’ve given them tomato food about a month or so ago, the package says every 3 months so no more yet.
I hope this helps! My brain is soup currently.
