But the two brandywine, my personal favorite tomato, are both turning completely yellow. They are in the same area as the others, they are not next to each other, but just THIS variety has yellowing leaves, it started on the lower leaves but now it’s all the way up.
************************************************************
I’m not sure what that is, I’m pinging additional help, but they might already have seen this. My sister told me to be sure to take off all yellowing leaves when I started gardening, but she didn’t know what caused it.

I’ve never looked it up, because it wasn’t an issue. I am guessing that they need to be fed a good balanced fertilizer and maybe some addition P & K, if they are indeterminate.

Diana, tubebender, and TIK, including you on this ping to maybe help yaelle. Thanks.

A friend started some seeds for me this year and those leaves are on the yellow side compared to the ones from the local hardware store.

The new growth seems to be coming in darker.

I’m wondering if mine being yellowish is just a matter of the indoor conditions they were started in and even though I hardened them off, I think the leaves just don’t come in the same as when they grow outdoors.

Thanks. They must need something the others don’t. One is “uphill” from the other so the only thing they have in common is being brandywine. Red brandywine.

Are the leaves getting brown spots as well, or are they just yellowing? Yellowing could be from over-watering.

If they’re also having brown spotting on the leaves, you’ve probably got early blight. Late blight will show large, dark ‘bruises’ on the fruits.

Either way, my prognosis is not a happy one...
