| Steve, what I see are ivory colored areas/spots on some leaves. First question is have you sprayed them with anythng including water or anything else? Second question, I see you're from the UK and I'm assuming that you keep them on the cool side. Are there any open windows at any time or any other way that spores could get inside your home. I ask b'c I'm really thinking it might be Powdery Mildew of which there are two kinds that can affect tomatoes, but I won't go into that until you post back here Carolyn |

| Hi there, yes I am in UK. 1. NO I haven't sprayed them with anyting, 2. There is a window but I have open it only once last week. The room is cool not so worm. Still inside the house but not heated. Hope this helps. |
|
| I have just checked online photos of Powdery Mildew, and I am certain its not that. Any other ideas? |
|
| could it be short of water? |

| The spots remind me of flea beetle damage. I'm not saying that's what it is -- particularly since you're in the UK! But in the absence of flea beetles, some other very small insect which likes to munch the outer layers of a leaf. Here's flea beetle damage on eggplant leaves: Flea beetle damage in older tomato leaves: The weird light green stripe running through the big leaf on the right: haven't a clue! |
