    OK, I planted out some of my tomato plants last weekend and they're seemingly thriving (found some more flower heads on one I thought was struggling [​IMG] )

    however, on some of the lower leaves on quite a few of the plants are little white marks, anyone have any idea what they are and if I need to do anything about it?

    I haven't got a photo yet, theres no sign of them drooping or anything, almost like they got splashed with fine specks of paint

    :confused:

    It might be meldew, I had that prob a few years back and was told to increase ventilation. I did and cut the lower leaves off, it worked. [​IMG]

    Im not sure it sounds like disease. Could it be scorch where water droplets have magnified the sun and burned little bits of the leaf?
