Please help a new grower
Hi All,
This is my second year growing vegetables, and last year my tomatoes did really well, so I decided to grow more varieties this year. I ordered the plants from an online nursery, and they seemed to be doing quite well after I set them out. A few weeks after setting them out, I noticed the leaves on one plant deform, and at first I thought (from reading here) that it might be herbicide damage, as my neighbor was treating his lawn. However, it quickly spread to all the tomato plants, and even my okra started growing distorted leaves. Nearby carrots, asparagus, radicchio, and shallots seem to do well. The plants continued to grow and flowered, so I decided to wait and see. The first flowers set fruit without problems, and the fruit are growing well. The new flowers however appear to mostly fall off the plant after drying out. Then just a few days ago, I started noticing small brown spots on some leaves and also the flowers that fall. I attached a few pictures to show you what I can't really put into words. I am quite sad that I must have done something wrong and don't know what. Could you help me diagnose what is wrong with them, and what I could do to help my plants? My (armchair) diagnosis is that it must be some kind of virus, but I don't know which one. Something also tells me that there must be something else? Thank you all! brown spots on flowers.jpg brown spots on leaves.jpg Curly leaves.jpg distorted leaf on okra.jpg |
