We work hard to raise our tomatoes. When the right conditions come… so do tomato diseases like leaf spot, early blight and other fungi. Not all leaf yellow…

Question by the Programmer: Does cherry tomatoes plant has red stalk?
I was trying to grow cherry tomatoes from a seed, but after 6 days, a baby plant with red stalk was appeared, is it really the cherry tomatoes plant? I’m not sure ’cause the soil was very old. Please see the picture:

Just leave it alone until you can ID the plant. When there are a few leaves, you can tear off a piece of the leaf, crush it in your fingers and smell it. You will know if it is a tomatoe then.
Give your answer to this question below!
thanks for this video.it help for my tomatoes
Give them some liquid fertilizer. Just in case it is nutritional. It won’t
hurt. If they are really yellow…. yep remove them.
Hey Gary
Do you have an idea if neem oil in water will help too?
wow! thanks a lot for the video. now i know what to do with my tomato
plant.
Young plants get purple leaves due to cool temps. It has something to do
with phosphorous lockout and goes away when temps warm up. The other sounds
like root rot from keeping the soil too wet.
thanks for all your videos – very helpful to this beginner gardener
It is always hard to say. Sometimes bad luck brings multiple things to
plants. Wish I could help more.
Good video, thanks. It helps a lot to see examples of possible concern.
Also, your title brings up many more videos regarding tomato diseases.
That’s helpful, too!
Your welcome. I am glad your are finding success. I watched your video.
They look great. You will have massive plants. Crinkled up wire mesh might
keep the birds off. Put it on in patches so it is loose and spins. Their
feet cant really grasp the fine wire. Might cut down on some birds. Hows
the moisture for your tomatoes… keep them moist. I couldnt tell if the
ground looked dry or not.
Are the daisies companion plants? What purpose do they serve for your
garden?
Thanks for the great tips and info Gary! This is my first year growing
in-ground and I am pleased with the results so far. Couldn’t have done this
well without you and several other YouTube info-sharers (GrowingYourGreens,
WebCajun). Thanks! My July update: v=fNxNT96fFKo
Your welcome!
We have beefsteak and cherry. Can’t wait for BLTs
Thank you for this info… I have a question about mulching tomatoes. I
know it is necessary so I purchased some pine bark mulch. I have heard that
pine bark can change the pH of the soil as it is acidic and it tends to rob
the soil of nitrogen. Do you think this would be a big problem? I mean, I
just used this for the first time and I could see if for years you used
pine bark as mulch and would amend the soil with it in the spring, it
eventually changing the pH. What are your thoughts on it?
They are actually chamomile flowers. They seed wild in my garden. The smell
good, look nice and bring in tiny good insects. I just let them grow.
I never hear of that. I would need to see picture. Fungi on the leaves or
purple veins in the leaves. Still the fungus is treated with baking soda.
Purple veins is usually nutritional and you can add epsom salts to water
and give the plants a drink. But… that wouldnt kill them in two days.
thanks. yes a couple of other plants have purple leaves and have not died
also 1 tomato plant was fine no spots or anything but just went floppy then
died in 2 days it looked like transplant shock it couldn’t be because they
have been there for three weeks now. could it be two thing at the same
time? thanks.ben.
Your welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thanks a lot!
I have had a wilt that just drops the leaves into a wilt and then they gray
off and die. Sometimes that can happen from just high heat too. Try taking
a picture and sending it to one of the google+ garden communitites that you
can get through my blog. You will get detailed quick answers there.
YEP! Especially if you have diseases that come yearly like I do. We get
leaf spot and early bligh. Prevention has stopped leaf spot from showing up
in my garden for probably 3 years. NO SIGNS! Mulching is part of the reason.
That is true if like you said years go by. It is also true about the
nitrogen if you mix wood chips into the soil and they decay in the soil. It
has more to do with the breakdown process. You can mulch the top. I would
remove the mulch and reuse or take the mulch at the end of the year and
compost it. Let it break down and go through the nitrogen sucking process
else where. If you were to leave the mulch on top of your bed just toss itn
some pelleted lime.
I have many green tomatoes. When do they turn red and delicious? First year
I’ve grown them.
Depending on the variety actually 60 to 110 days. But soon!
Thanks Gary, Good information
Yes, that looks like a tomato seedling. Ans since that is what you planted it seems pretty likely, but who knows where weed seed can land.
It’s very early to say for sure…. literally hundreds of different kinds of plant look like that when they first sprout.
