| I just replaced nearly all my earliest-planted tomatoes (that have seen over 8" of rain this month). They seemed to be suffering from P deficiency - I took soil samples to run to the lab tomorrow. But I literally just planted this Rose de Berne 2 days ago, it looked fine then, but what is happening to the leaves now? I watered it in, and yes it's been hot (87) but this is starting at the petiole and center of leaves, not the edges. Do you think it's sunburn (the plants have been hardened off for over 3 weeks, even if the last 6 were sitting in pots in my garage on rainy days (typically 1-2" of rain in 1 day, otherwise I would have left them out) and going out on sunny days. Sorry, it is a little wilted from being in my pocket - but why is the center "burnt"? |

| Very hard for me to tell by the photo. Maybe a picture of the plant would be better if possible. It's ok to leave pots out in the rain btw. |

| I don't leave the pots (esp. the small ones) out in the rain since I had some blueberries in 2 gal pots almost drown last April. We've been having monsoon-like downpours. I took a couple of plants in to state lab today (1 Brandywine still in a pot had similar scorching/wilting, a CP has some scorching on margins of top leaves) and plant pathologist thought it was atypical of a virus, thought the BW (and most likely the Rose) was mechanical damage, like petiole had been pinched (possible, since I took them to market on Wed) and the CP he thought could be simple sunburn though it's possible herbicide drift so I just have to keep an eye on all my plants. |
