Yellowing Leaves


The leaves on my Amish Paste tomato plant are yellowing.  It doesn't look like a typical fungal issue where there are circular spots so I'm not quite sure what the issue is.  I have been cutting off the leaves as they yellow hoping to stop the spread but it just keeps spreading.  The plant has almost no leaves at this point.  Thankfully I have not seen anything similar on any of my other tomato plants.

  1. Mine were doing the same thing. Erin at Garden Now Think Later said it could be a magnesium deficiency. I fertilized and it got better. Good luck.

  5. Epsom salt! It adds the natural magnesium back to the soil and in as little as a week you'll see the leaves start to green back up. I'd use a tablespoon of it dissolved in a jug of water. Good luck! :)
