Tomato plant leaves yellowing at the base with purple spots

13 years ago

We started these plants indoors and transplanted them outside a few weeks ago and all our other plants are doing great but these 2 tomato plants are not looking so great. What to do?

We're in Dallas texas and the variety is Better Boy. They're being grown in a Mel's mix type soil made up of 1/4 vermiculite, 1/4 peat, and 1/2 blended compost. No signs of bugs or bug damage, and we've now pruned off the bottom most affected branches.

Hi AhleahaSage! I put your question on the main forum because I felt it would reach more people that might know. Not everyone checks out the gallery every day.

People might answer on either forum so check them both.

Hope you get your answer soon :-)
