Worried about my tomatoes

brendang · June 21, 2010

Hello Tomatoville,
Can you all take a look at these pictures? The tomatoes i have in ground are not fruiting yet but the foliage is a deep green color. The tomatoes that are in containers have large fruit already but the thing thats worrying me is that the plants seem to be a lighter shade of green and a few of the container tomatoes have dark patches on a couple of the leaves. Ive attached a photo. Is this normal for plants that are putting a lot of energy into their fruit? I should mention that both in ground and container tomatoes are Brandywine and the week before last there was a lot of rain and little sun.
Would appreciate any help.
Brendan
