Is it possibly a need for magnesium? It seems that all the "old-timers" I know say that magnesium deficiency in the soil is the most common problem with tomatoes. Using epsom salt is an easy cure.

Here are some symptoms of need for magnesium:

• Leaves turn yellow
• Leaves turn yellow in between the veins (interveinal chlorosis)
• Leaves curl
• Plants become spindly
• Fruit production decreases
• A soil test reveals a magnesium deficiency

Here's one place that talks about it.

Oh no. I should've checked on that. No they were eating them. But come to think of it , it was just one that was really eating them. Oh man I hope that it doesn't kill her. I did chase her out of them a few times.

My chickens have access to all sorts of plants that could harm them, oleander being the worst. I see them pick at leaves and flowers all the time, but not eat them. They pulled a bunch of leaves off of one plant, it got naked!... but most of the leaves were on the ground. I bet your chicken will be fine, and probably not eat tomato leaves any more either. Grow them some kale! They love it and will leave your other plants alone.

I thought about it. All my dogs should be protected. I even question the tomatoes.

I know the dogs are ok but I really do wonder about their tomatoes. I dont kno what they use to fertilize them.

Who knows....I doubt they even care...
Just wash them off good.

 

[Wishing4Wings]

Wash them with soap it you are really worried. I bet their fertilizer is au natural. Most long time farmers are good about that.
