    are you growing it outside or in a greenhouse?

    Outdoors. Maybe I brought it out too soon?

    Where are you in the country?
    It has been very cold recently. We have had daytime temps. of only about 10C.

    North East - yes I think I should have kept it indoors a bit longer. Is there anyway to fix this? Cheers

    No, but they might still be ok.

    Agree...I'd let it tough it out and see how it gets on, if you do you'll probably see other side effects of the colder night temps, but don't worry as some of mine are in the greenhouse and they look shocking.

    They'll be fine a bit of purple is perfectly normal on tomatos
