| Hi all.
This is the first year i am growing tomatoes. They seem to be doing ok in terms of overall health - however I have some damage to leaf's and do not really know what it is. I think I have a mixture of insects and maybe a fungus/disease?. I picked up a bottle of bonaide 3 in 1 tomato and vegatable. I think it contains neem. I have being spraying daily for a few days and don't think there is any progress. Attached are some photos of leaf's I pinched off. I think some appeared eatem, There seems to be a very small web on one leaf? . Would love some input. |

| sunburn - you serious? I planted them in sunlight. I assumed that they needed Direct sunlight. Not sure how I would remediate this. In terms of water.. there may have been a couple of days earlier in May when they were short of water when i was away - however they are now on a soaker hose Is the sunburn a serious issue? thanks for quick reply |

| New transplants need to be hardened off -- that is, toughened up -- so that they can withstand full sunlight. Larger plants can be damaged even though they've been outdoors and in the ground for quite some time. Things that cause such damage are low humidity and/or hot dry winds and/or high temperatures which followed a series of moderate days and/or dry soil and more. |

| Did you harden them off ? |
|
| If they're in the ground but not hardened off beforehand, the way to remediate the situation is to rig temporary shade and/or windbreak. |
