Tomotoes and now beans, leaves yellow

[fabjoanna]

My tomoto plants and now beans in containers. Leaves are turning yellow and look like they are dying, can anybody figure out why? I'v little toms and beans growing. Iv taken photos, also another plant which i forgot to write down what seeds are and not sure if a pea or bean!

Many thanx
Jo

Hi Jo, yellow leaves with the green veins standing out is a sign of magnesium deficiency. The cure is to use epsom salts diluted one part epsom salts to nine parts water and either water the plants or use the mixture as a foliar spray. The results are usually pretty quick.

Hi Lesley

I'v looked and theres no green vein, just completley yellow and shrivelling, iv been adding a bit tomoto food when watered. There doesn't seem to be any creatures either, could they of had to much water with all the rain?

Thanx Jo

It could be caused by them being over wet, but could also be the result of leaching. To solve that, give them a weak, general feed every day. Use something like Miraclegro.
