Help! Can this tomato plant be saved?

9 years ago

My tomatoes are not looking too good. :( (see attached pics) I live in Hawaii, lots of rain lately...ground had some roots before that I pulled up just before planting; but i used good potting soil, compost, and fertilizer. Plant was doing well for awhile.

sun damage. Probably sparse leaf coverage of the fruits. Edible but the skin may be rather thick -- you may want to peel them.

Thank you, Jean. Now that I think about it, there really wasn't enough leaf coverage above these three. Hopefully, the rest will do better! Good to know they may still be edible, too. I'll just peel and throw them in some crock pot chili :)
