I have tomato seedlings that the leaves have started turning a whitish colour, they are also pale green in colour. They are about 3" to 5" tall. They are Money Maker, Alicante, Ailsa Craig and tumbling tom. I grew them from packet seed,as I do every year with very good results. There is about 300 plants. I usually supply family and friends and a local shop takes the surplus. I am not a comercial grower, I just cannot give plants to anybody in case it is a virus etc.
I tried growing onion shallots in a poly tunnel for spring use. I couldn't find any so I bought some in the supermarket. I planted on 1/10/11 but out of 15 planted only 2 have sprouted and are only 2 inches long. The rest have small roots only. Have they been treated to keep them dormant or what?
