I finally got rid of worms but now my beefsteak tomatoes and other tomatoes are getting dry crispy leaves. Any clues as to what’s going on and how to fix it?

    Under watering or too much sun? Not quite sure, never grown tomatoes, but it may be under watering because I have heard that tomatoes are the most needy plants when it comes to sun!

    Dry leaves are normally a sing of too much sun, I don’t see any dehydration. So I won’t say is under-watering. I will also try a fertilizer if you haven’t

    Fertilizer in water. Make sure it’s one with higher calcium as it could be blossom end rot starting. Try a 10/30/20 ratio. Also trim dying leaves back. Apply diatomaceous earth in case of mites. Copper sulfate sprayed on the soil maybe helpful too.

      I use a slow release fertilizer. Just used calcium spray because there is tomato end rot. Other question is that my beefsteak tomatoes are small. I expect them larger but I have a lot of fruit already on these plants. Do I need to prune some of the flowers off so the others get bigger?
