| Hello! I have 16 tomato plants of various varieties in different locations and soils throughout my property. Every one of them is now looking like the enclosed photo in one stage or another (this is a more advanced case). These are the lowest leaves. New growth looks fine at the moment. I cannot find any evidence of insect pests. I cannot figure out what the problem is. The only commonality between them was the compost I used to start them in indoors, but this problem didn't start happening until 2+ weeks after they got outside. Any help would be very appreciated! |

| I'm guessing environmental damage of some sort from too much variation in sun, cold, wind, wet, etc. The weather swings in the NE have been crazy this year. My plants have been out for 2 weeks also, and look as bad as I can remember. |

| My plants are exhibiting the same damage. I attribute it to the cold nights we had about ten days ago. It showed up shortly afterward. I just cut off the damaged leaves. |

| Thanks for the response! |

| It looks more like sunburn (sunscald) to me. How gradually did you harden them off? |
