My tomatoes this year were coming along lovely. I was really looking forward to eating them, but now they are all turning a funny brown colour, starting at the top normally. Is this tomato blight or too much water with the rain, (they are outdoors) can anyone help please.

I have grown my tomatoes from seed this year and they are quite healthy, but since I have potted them into their final pots some of the plants leaves are curling into a ball at the top but are still green. My greenhouse gets quite hot on sunny days, I try to keep the floor misted and have also misted the plants to see if that helps. I have also bought shading. They aren't short of water either. Can anyone advise as to what the cause could be?

I have scoured the site for tips on Moneymaker toms and the best way to grow. I am new to this as want to get the children involved. Can anyone tell me where to get a step by step guide to creating trusses and which leaves to remove. Confused and desperate for a great crop.

help i think i just killed my tomato plant! i am a first time grower and thought nipping out meant cutting off the side branches of the main branch to help the growth of tomatoes. But now i understand this is not the case! however i do have alot of flowers on my plant! will it survive! and is there anything i can do to save it?!

I have leaves starting to grow from the ends of the tomato trusses. The plants are healthy and the fruit is setting. I have nipped off these leaves, but does anyone know why this happens?

I have tried growing cucumbers for the last 2 years with no success. The leaves get gradually paler until the plant completely failes, I regularly feed with tomato feed. What am I doing wrong?
