Just looked at the picture - quite a difference, yes?
Funnily enough, the plant still manages to sustain growing fruit (3 altogether), but there are hardly any leaves left now and the rest of the flowers withered away.
Now - WHY THE HELL IS THAT???
I have few suspicions, and if you happen to be a tomato expert and know which one is the most likely, please let me know.
1. Disease - the leaves got all funny before they died. Sort of shrivelled. Or is it some nutrient deficiency?
2. Small container. Not enough space for the roots - could it literally kill the plant?
3. Or did it simply dry up? I was away for one week some time ago, and the plant looked pretty miserable after my return. I got someone to water it in my absence but... well... people are busy these days. But nearly a month of regular care passed since and the tomato didn't recover, just the opposite.
Now it's racing the time to see if tomatoes will ripen before the plant dies :)
