tomato plants

[dylan1959]

why have the leaves shrivelled up and look dead -tomatoes still growing- have i over watered it

[dennisb66]

Sounds more like lack of watering,or if in a greenhouse overheating,although there hasn't been much sun on my greenhouse lately.

I think dennis is right.

The greenhouse which I had is now sited in my neighbours garden because I got fed-up with the sort of problem you are encountering and he is now having problems with his tomatoes. Unfortunately, I have to keep an eye on his plants when he and his wife go off for a few days (sometimes weeks)

Small garden greenhouses are not ideal for growing tomatoes/ cucumbers/ melons/ etc because they all need a good circulation of air/ constant watering and a fully temperature controlled environment.

I agree viv, too many people grow too many in a small 8x6. I grow one, which is just what I need in a large pot and use JI No 3.

Don't worry Dylan, just remove the dead leaves and continue to feed and water until the tomatoes ripen. I always cut back the leaves anyway once the tomatoes are full size to alow the sun to ripen them
