John’s tomatoes have shrivelled leaves, has anyone else experienced this:
I have used Grow Pots for growing tomatoes for the last 20 years – in my lean-to (3 sided) greenhouse (10 feet by 6 feet). I find the most successful for ease of care and plenty of fruit, is Shirley F1 . I grow 4 to 6 plants from seeds sown in 3″ pots then potted into the Grow Pots. This year I only produced 4 plants and put two in each of two growbags. Everything has gone well – lots of trusses with plenty of tomatoes developing, until two weeks ago when the plants (5 feet high) started wilting. I put a canopy over them to shield from the sun, and sprayed with water, foliar feed and even systemic fungicide (even though no fungus or paraites were visible). All to no avail – I now have three shrivelled plants with green tomatoes at 5 feet, and one healthy plant/tomtoes at 7 feet (I have pinched this top out to restrict the growth) and 3 withered ones with trusses of green tomatoes that are not fully developed. I have followed the same procedure for watering (daily) and feeding (phostrogen – every second day in the inner growpot) that I have used for many years with 100% success in the past. Help !!

So sorry to hear about your tomato problem – what a disappointment.
There are so many tomato leaf diseases, I wonder what the leaves looked like. Were they marked? Are the nodes marked? Did the leaves change colour?
Meanwhile, I will ask if anyone else has experienced shrivelled leaves on their tomatoes this year?
