Hi all,
I noticed today that two plants of tomatoes show a black/yellow border on their leaves (see picture). They are tumbler cherry tomato plants, they stay in a hanging basket and they are exposed to full sun and, in the last days, to a fairly strong wind. Could it be the cause, or is it something else? Thanks.

The bottom left leaf was already hanging from the stem. A dry and dark spot can be seen on it. |

Could be the weather is a little too cold to have tomato out yet.

looks like wind-chill to me, but better research other causes to be sure.

Thanks all, I will see what I can do. Maybe I should give some shelter to these plants, but, as I said, they are in baskets and my tiny greenhouse is too small for them. I think I should invest in a bigger one... I'd like to have a big polytunnel, but I'm renting the house where I live and it would be money I can't get back.
