Bacterial Wilt very early

b54red · March 18, 2012

Went out today and found one of my tomatoes planted a little over a week ago dead of Bacterial Wilt. It also looks as if another one has it too and will probably die by tomorrow evening. This is usually a big problem when I am setting out plants from late April through September; but I have never seen it this early in the year. I guess this is the result of a very warm winter with a lot of rain. I assume this also means my usual Fusarium Wilt problem will be even worse than most years. I can't wait to see how the pests and foliage diseases are going to be this year.
