Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Some of my watercress, corriander and tomatoes (fruit) have what looks like a dark greeny/brown stain through the leaves and fruit on the cherry tomatoes. it dosent feel any different to touch or appear to be hurting the plant so im not all that worried but im curious to what it is. The stain only on my tomatoes seems to be on the side that gets the most sunlight.
Possibly from the cold? Aliens?

Ill post a pic if it helps... tomorrow.

Could be frost burn... we've had a few frosts in the last week or so.

The pics will help, take a few.

Really need a pic Merrick.. Not surprised that your tommies aren't 100% though, it is bloody cold...

Ok heres some pics

the cress is a little one i moved from the bunch it seems to be the worst.

Hi merrick, I reckon it relates to the overnight temps, the plants are showing the effect of frost/ cold as suggested by Dr damage.

thankyou.
I wasnt too worried but my history growing anything other than weeds has not let me really find out too much about what bugs, cold etc does to plants... So im learning as i go.
i have been eating it and im not dead yet

Definately frost burn, everything in my garden not protected by greenhouses is suffering from it.

Yep, frost at night then a sunny day will give you just what your pics are showing
