So is there anyone that can help me my tomato plant is looking awful. It’s my first time growing anything this year and I have a few different plants. I love in Scotland and this year we’re very hot weather. I’ve kept it watered especially with this heat but I’m only watering it we needed. So I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong can I fix it or is it done for

A shade cloth might help!

Yea it needs protection and maybe Boomerang comeback  
Solution. Boomerang has saved many a plant for me and it helps deal  
With stressful growing conditions.

If no Boomerang look up “comeback solution plants”.

I think you have salts locking up  
The roots or potentially a fungal issue. You may want to start a new plant as well after flushing the soil big time.

Yeah I definitely think that I’ll need a whole new one really. My chilli and sweet pepper plant seem to be doing better but don’t seem to be growing as much anymore.

Imo the plant is done for. Looks like the plant got too dry, ruined the leaves and then they were watered on top of. Tomato plants dont really like their leaves wet. They also don’t like soil drying out before watering. Shade would help as well :)

But also I’ve only read about comeback solutions from this thread so you should try that first!
