White leaves

Hairy Moose Knuckles · April 9, 2008

I set out most of my tomatoes last week and they were abused by the wind. Most seem to have recovered, but I have a couple of plants that the leaves are turning white. Any Ideas?

Green spray paint? Just kidding. They should be fine as long as the growing top is intact. Remember those will be the bottom leaves soon enough.

could be due to sun also, if plants didn't have a long enough hardening off period. they will recover. dontcha just hate that wind some times. i have had years where 40 mph winds ripped through the area within days after transplanting outside. some plants just disappeared. thats why we have extras.
