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.
Selecting Tomatoes to Grow. The key to a successful tomato garden is selecting the right variety (there are hundreds for your climate). The other important consideration is what type of use you are planning on - sauce, slicing or salads or all three. Determinate varieties grow to a certain size and then bear fruit.
