Generally they look very happy and healthy. Is it just one plant with yellow leaves? Lower leaves will often go yellow. If the leaf isn't getting enough sunlight to make it worth the plant keeping the leaf, the plant cuts off the supply of food to the leaf then it yellows and drops off. Leaves have to earn their keep. When the amount and strength of sunlight is too low leaves can no longer provide power to the plant so the plants discard all their leaves - e.g. in autumn

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Hi all, my tomato plant (one of them) has also yellowing leafs. Not enough sunlight, over watering. I grew 53 seeds from seed, they've all come through! Any one help pls? Thanks.
The plants look fine at the moment, but they are too crowded. I grow a single plant in a 22 litre pot - a bit excessive, but yours will be struggling to get enough food in such a small space, that's the cause of the yellowing leaves

i was very surprised myself Pete8! Never grown from seed, so a first. Was expecting some failure, but when they all came through, my first thought was, where am I going to put them. I did start putting them I. Individual pots or bags, but by the time I got to 30+ I lost the will to live. Still, even over crowding they're bearing fruit. I've a very small garden, very!! I've tomato plants everywhere (See pics) Thank you for your advice. i better call the grocery stores!! ?
Good luck to you! They are very overcrowded, so you may get problems later in the season and you'll have to keep them well fed. Also start removing just a few of the lower leaves in a few weeks to let air get to the plants.
I know what you mean when they all germinate and you don't have the heart to put them in the compost bin. I do it all the time, 48 agastaches this year! and the lettuce all looked so healthy I planted them all - now I've got 20+ lettuce all ready and some going to seed. Next year we will both have to tough up a bit
