Tomato leaves dark around edges and various other leaf problems
This is my first year with the earthtainers and I haven't grown veggies in about ten years. I have been looking on the internet and in the forums but I haven't found this exact problem. My tomato leaves have purple on the top but not on the bottom of the leaf. I planted transplants bought at a reputable nursery on April 13. All seemed well until I returned from being away for a week. This was last Monday, June 18. We have had tons of rain and a tropical storm on May 29th. I had a couple of leaves with the mottled purple before I left but the edges were not dark. I read on the internet that it could be a nutrient deficiency so I added Fox Farm Grow Big to each of the watering tubes. (just under a half cup for each earthtainer) I am including a link to the photos. The first 17 photos were taken today. I would appreciate your advice.
Thanks, Deborah http://s1260.photobucket.com/albums/ii580/tigerveg/ |

Looks to me like they are just stressed from all the wind and rain

Thanks RayR, Debby decided to go my way so it's more wind and rain for the next couple of days.
