My fruit and veg plants are dying

Argh, what's going on?

My strawberry plants are going brown and crispy and my tomato plants are turning yellow. I'm not sure what to do 😬😬😬

Where are they planted? In the ground/raised bed/container? What sort of soil?

Could they just need some extra shade and water?

The strawberry plants are in the greenhouse. They were in grow bags but I've had to throw some away and I've transplanted others into individual pots. I have a couple that are massive and thriving and throwing out runners right and left but others that are just going brown and crispy and dying off. I'm wondering if the greenhouse was too hot for them?

The tomato plants are in growbags out the front where there is lots of light. I thought yellow leaves meant too much water but on reading it seems like maybe I'm not watering them enough and they need a good tomato feed.

Yes, the greenhouse will be roasting in this weather. Do you have any space outside you can move them into?

We do but the birds keep eating them! I'm not sure what to do for the best.

Hmm - netting?

Rinkydinkypink · 17/06/2017 12:59

Agree you need them out of the greenhouse. Get some cheap netting as suggested to protect them.

My greenhouse is 32C now and it's almost 8pm. It was 55C mid day with doors and windows open. Can you put shade up ?

Out of the greenhouse and yellow leaves mean they need water.
