Hello, folks. What is killing these plants?  Fig tree, tomato plants and pepper suddenly got like as in photos. Please advise what can be done to save these plants and what's affecting them. Thank you in advance.

    The tree's in a tiny pot, so I expect it's suffering from severe drought. It'll be very hard for it to get enough moisture for the top growth form the limited soil it will have. 

    The toms may be the same, but it could just be weather. Check them for sign of blight. I can't see them well enough in the pic. Some info here

    I thought peppers needed protection in the UK. I don't grow them someone else will need to advise on those. 
    Unless you're not in the UK of course. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    The fig tree has died/ is dying of thirst and the pot is definitely too small. I don't think you could ever give it enough water in that little pot. Submerge the pot in a bucket of water until the bubbles stop and then transplant it into something bigger. You might be lucky😊
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    @Fairygirl, @B3. Thank you. I will try to rehydrate the fig tree and replant in to bigger pot.
