The nicotine on your hands kills them for some reason. If it's too hot in your greenhouse they will wilt a bit till it cools off, but shouldn't die. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shepp 2,285 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I think they've cooked mate, with the recent sunshine you should probably have had the open all the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

latchy 21 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 one of the main reasons of tomato plants dying is over watering aand feedind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
