    Hi all im new to gardening and i thought i would try and grow some tomato’s, i grew them from seed and when they were big enough i planted them in grow bags and pots in as sheltered a place as i could find in my garden. Within two weeks of planting them into the bags and pots i noticed that the tips of some of the leafs had turned a fawn beige colour does anyone have any idea what’s wrong with them and what is causing the tips to discolour? here are some photos. Any advice would be most appreciated thanks in advance.

    Possibly a bit of wind scorch drying the tips out.

      Doesn't look much to worry about, in fact they look pretty good plants to me especially for a first effort. Outdoor tomatoes do suffer from wind, rain, cold nights so it's rare to see unmarked leaves.

        As John says, I wouldn't be particularly bothered.
