Jaxs said:I have a Tomato Plant growing in a window box out on my balcony. It has flowers but the bottom leaves are turning yellow.Any idea why? Thank You!!! Happy Gardening! 🍅


I hope you keep it well watered. Unless it is a container variety and a small plant you window box probably aren't big enough for a tomato.

As for the bottom yellowing leaves, that is not uncommon. Tomato plants are very prone to fungal diseases. Cut off and discard those yellow leaves in the trash, Not the compost pile.
