    JWK,
    Seems like a good analytical kit. Interesting how you compare the good growth to the not so good.
    Our tomatoes are coming on strong at the moment and we've just picked a selection of ripe Chilis and Sweet Peppers. The brown leaf problem I had with the chilis has now cleared up after adding the Calmag.

      Not sure I'm on the right place as my Tom's nowhere near the wonderful bounty some of you are experiencing! Off to Wales for two days (the hottest!!) So not expecting huge changes. Certainly not drought as everything well watered!
      I've told them all to stay in the shade!
      It's the lads birthday (fifty something I'm told) He mountaineers and teaches guitar, she teaches music and swims in mountain lakes, so shell be fine! Wish I could just flounder, hippo-like, myself!

                    After:
                    20220717_112703.jpg

                    Done the same on my 8x8 plus removed a pane to help ventilation.

                    Picked Buffaloson today, very tasty but had a rotten bottom, not quite the same as BER I hope

                        @SunnyGin Lovely to see so many tomatoes! You have quite a selection! I'm only growing 'Gardener's Delight' this year & of my 12 plants I discovered that one of them this morning is dying. It hadn't recovered from the "wilting" nor has it recovered from being "beheaded" All the other plants have recovered very well & are now at the stage they should have been about 6 weeks ago.

                          I'm throwing all my Tomato seeds away in the bin. I have ordered Fantasio F1 & Crimson Crush F1 from Suttons.

                          I've had a poor year so far with Tomato's, some have wilted, other with just one fruit on.

                          But ha the Runner Beans & Potatoes are great.

                            They are now being trained up to the apex and will soon be coming down the other side (if they let me):

                              @JWK very good, John... I like the idea of growing up the eaves of the greenhouse.

                                Some of my Super Sweet 100's are now fully, if not over ripe, but the tops are still green.

                                Is this normal for some varieties of tomato?
