And you say nightly temps haven't gotten over 70 yet - what are your day temps like and what has the humidity been like since you put them in the ground?
I'm sad for you that you had to pull so many and I hope you find an answer to your question soon!!

Thanks for the reply. My plants are spaced in a standard 4*5 ft configuration. We have received about 5 inches of rain over the past month and I don't believe the temperatures have been over 95 degrees at that time. I have plants 10 feet from these that may have many lbs of fruit on them and are already 5 feet tall? I've also mulched the entire garden with a mixture or wheat straw and hay. I have applied one feeding ( 10 days ago) of compost tea I made. I used a mixture of worm castings, composted chicken manure, Black Kow, and syrup to prepare 40 gallons of tea for a folliar feeding.
