  • Well from what i've read it could be lack of nitrogen in the soil. I'm no expert in troubleshooting, but if that is the case you could add some fertilizer and that may help. If it is a soil issue then planting something else without treating the soil may have the same result. Do a search for "Yellow Leaves On Tomato Plant" and there are a few other things you can check on too.

  • @14dollarz Thanks for trying to help. I pulled the plant up & determined it is fusarium wilt. It had dark brown streaks inside the stem & enlarged roots. I believe it came from a plant that was bought last year. : ( I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed that it turns out like last year & the whole bed isn't infected. Still researching what I can do about it.

  • your garden looks great I am late on helping but I agree with jason. I use neem oil from greenlight on all my plants...

  • Great video. This is tomato blight. It's a fungus in the soil caused by spores left from last years garden veggies that may have been left behind. Spores can last in the soil for almost forever. Use fungicide or change out the soil completly. It also occures after heavy rains. Never ever ever leave behind veggies to rot in the soil over winter because of this fungus.

  • @AmyLuvnTX I guess this is why some gardeners "bake" their used soil. To kill off diseases and fungus from year to year. I've seen where small amounts are literally baked in ovens but I know I'll never do that. I'm gonna try "baking" in the sun in a thin layer during the summer heat. Then remixing with fresh compost. I won't be doing this with all the soil in my raised beds but only areas that I have any concerns over.

    Good luck with this.

  • I think that you have to leave the space open, but I think you may also have to take those plants next to it as the other plants and put them somewhere else. But I don't have much experience with that, so you don't need to do what I said ; it's your garden.
