Growing Tomatoes

tomato leaves drying up

12 years ago

I have a Black Krim plant that survived from Fall to now that

is showing dryed shrivelled green leaves. Have been picking

small fruit. It's in a raised bed and soil feels moist when

probed with a finger, with almost daily watering.

Any suggestions?

My guess it's old and giving up the ghost.

"dryed shrivelled green leaves" is usually either a nutrient issue or a pest issue. Any sign of pests? Look for spider mite webs or aphids. What and how much have you fed it? Is it in a container? If so are you sure it isn't root bound?

Need more info please.

No spider mites or aphids. It's growing in a raised bed in a mulched bag of Miracle Gro organic potting soil with extra soil around it. The main stalk is not showing dry leaves, only the side growth with fruit attached is.
