Friends tomato problems:

Tomstrees · May 7, 2008

My friend has had his seedlings indoors doing well -

Then he planted out (with semi-hardening off) and it rained that night.
The following day it was hot and sunny.

Recently (a few days after) some of the leaves got funky looking and started drying up - looking spotty - finally falling off.

Any suggestions? Or do you think lack of hardening off with sun scold and wind burn?

Thanks, Tom

Little guys I guess couldn't handle boot camp.
Looks like everything that could happened did in such a short span of time except frost. Bummer.

As I always say. just pinch off the bad leaves and let new growth come in.

They will be fine.
