Tomato Problems

 
Problems I've had
  1. Tomato leaf Spot
  2. Blossom End rot - too frequent watering
  3. Sunscald - too few leaves
  4. Catfacing - caused by cold weather at the time of blossom set
Blossom-drop - caused by irregular temperatures (pollination can only occure between 55 and 90 degrees.
Water deep once a week, mulch heavily, establish windbreaks, don't use excessive nitrogen
 
tomato leaf curl
  1. Leaves curl naturally when too hot, too dry, to windy, when conditions are not optimal
  2. Curling with no other problems is natural
  3. Sever pruning will do it, but they will recover soon
