Re: Lower leaves on tomato plants turning yellow

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Rita:
I really need more information about the yellow dead leaves. If there are just a few yellow leaves, that may indicate old growth that is dying naturally, I usually cut those dead leaves off. If you use scissors, remember to sterilize them before and after you cut to keep any wayward fungi or other parasitic microbes from spreading around;-)

Are they on your cherry tomatoes? Are these tomatoes staked? If the branches are getting leggy, you might consider nipping some of the top new growth to stimulate side growth. 

Hope this helps,
Sheryl
