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.
1 An indeterminate plant keeps growing and spreading out. 2  A cage should be at least 48 inches (1.2 m) tall, even taller if you grow the plant well. 3  Tying plants is unneeded. 4  Some tomato plants can be more than six feet (1.8 m) tall in cages (you may need to stake and tie the cage to the stakes). Use a tomato cage or tomato stakes after the plant has been in the ground for six weeks to make harvesting easier. 2  Put egg shells in hole before putting in tomato plant. 3  Prior to setting your seedling in the ground, toss a couple handfuls of organic material in the bottom of your planting hole.
