Question by Teresa: What is wrong with my tomato plants?
My tomato plants are growing good but the bottom leaves are turning yellow and have brown spots on them.It seems to be working it’s way up the plant.What do I do to stop this and what is wrong? Thanks
I did remove the lower couple of leaves when I planted them about 6 weeks ago. They are planted in large pots with potting soil that has a 4 month fertilizer.They are not being overwatered.

Answer by Harriet The Spy
are they being overwatered? Be sure to water early in the morning under the lowest leaf that way, when the sun comes out, you wont burn the leaves – also, could the soil around it be packed too tightly? maybe its planted in clay soil.
What do you think? Answer below!
When it comes to temperatures what range should we shoot for? Is it better to have lamps or electric heat?
Thank you for taking the time to share the process. Great video! Off to check out your varieties.
Thanks Brad; I’ve seen this video on a few occasions but this time it dawned on me that Hey! I just received an order from Wild Boar Farms. An Aha moment for sure. I just started the seeds today and can’t wait to see the results. The website photos blew me away! There aren’t any tomatoes like Boar Farms here in Charlotte N.C. that is, until this summer.
i really loved your techniques for starting tomatos; i’m wondering how much light to give starter seedlings in trays under florescent light?
This was amazingly helpful. Thank you! (Now I can focus on anticipating my yummy Berkley Tie-Dye and Pork Chop tomatoes…)
I thought you were supposed to remove the lower bigger leaves so that the buds, flowers and actual toms could get the nutrients, I’m just a beginner too though so might be totally wrong!
If you had put dirt on your lower leaves they would have rooted. Just clip them off they will be fine! I grow 50 plants a year and can all of mine!
Verticillium wilt. In a word – or rather 2!!
