Basil brown edges of leaves and dying. Hi, I grow a lot of basil indoors in my office in Ireland. I had one plant and I have grown many more from cuttings. Recently, the basil has started dying. The leaves become brown around the edges, then die. I have used potassium fertiliser on them very recently (I thought potassium deficiency might be the problem) and I have also used some strong stuff to get rid of green flys: dimethoate, it says on the label.
The tomatoes varieties that existed when tomatoes were first cultivated were yellow or orange. Through breeding, the standard color of tomato plant varieties is now red. While red may be the predominate color among tomatoes now, that doesnât mean that there arenât other colors of tomatoes available. Letâs look at a few.
How to Plant and Care for Tomatoes. Tomatoes run on warmth; plant in late spring and early summer except in zone 10, where they are a fall and winter crop. Devote a prime, sunny spot to growing tomatoes. Tomatoes need at least 6 to 8 hours of sun to bring out their best flavors. You will need to stake, trellis, or cage most tomato plants to keep them off the ground. Decide on a support plan before you set out your plants, then add that support directly after planting. Give each plant enough room to grow.
