Kathy,

How did your tomato problem turn out?

Was it a fungus due to all the damp weather or ...?

Sandi,

How are your tomatoes? Did they survive the rain?

If you cured them how did you do it?

I can't see your tomato photos--Kodak wants me to join. I don't let most sites place cookies on my computer either, so it may be pouting. Anyway, with bugs on plants manual removal is always an option--simply catch them (it's not a bad idea to identify them to know if they're working for you or against you before you squash most of them).

I have plants in for fall, most of them around the foundation with the soaker hose ready to go. No fruits yet, but they're flowering.

Whatever fungal disease the tomatoes have, started at the base and is working it's way up the plant. As it moves up, all the branches and leaves die. It's a shame since we usually harvest till the first freeze. I have sprayed with cornmeal and a fish/seaweed solution several times and it hasn't stopped the fungus.

I expect that the plants will last another 30-40 days.

SandiH,

Sorry to hear about your tomatoes.

I'll do a "Tomato get well dance"...

Mary Lou

Thanks. I'm going to buy some of the new Plant Wash and see what it can do.

If anyone feels any better, my one & only grape tomato plant keeled over the other day. It was so 'leggy' due to all the rain & I guess I should have watered more after the rain stopped. It's hanging over the tomato cage like someone shot it.

It's pitiful, isn't it?
