What’s wrong with my tomato plants?

    Hard to tell from your photo too, but it looks like you have quite a big bed/border for them. That can make it more difficult re watering. A big area can stay wet for a long time, especially if the greenhouse isn't very hot, and the soil is therefore taking a while to dry out. It means fine roots sitting in permanently damp soil which isn't great for them. In a pot, or a smaller bed, it's less of a problem and better for the plants.
    If you can, try not to soak the whole area, and water just at the base of each of each plant to try and minimise that until it's warm enough for the soil to dry a bit more quickly  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I’m in Gloucestershire so south west, but the weather has been awful. Fleecing them is a good idea, I will try that.
