| So, new gardener here... I planted 5 tomato plants, different varieties about 1 month ago. I added compost to the soil. In this past month we have had 2 weeks of sun and 2 weeks of rain or clouds. Last week I noticed that the bottom leaves are turning yellow and some have brown spots. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance! |

| Could be the 2 weeks of rain. The growth on top looks ok. They will probably improve if it doesn't keep raining. We're getting our share here too. 2.4 inches yesterday. |

| Hi, Agree with edweather, this plant shows lack of air to the roots. A drowning effect from too much water, or a combination of lack of drain holes, compacted soil, heavy soil, etc. where the roots are in an aerobic environment. A helpful link 4u is below. |
