Frostbite on my Tomato Plants
About 3 weeks ago we had a very late frost of the season. We covered all of our peppers and tomatoes with raised bed sheets, and they all survived the frost. We had only planted them days before the frost. They are growing well now, and have about tripled in size, but we did have some "browning" of some leaves of the tomato plants. I haven't touched the plants since the frost, outside of watering and weeding, and am now wondering if I should remove all of the brown leaves? If I do, should I just pull off the leaves, or should I remove the whole leaf branch, or just let them be? On a happier note, I am starting to get blossoms on my Early Girl plants already!!

I would remove all diseased material especially the lower breaches.
