looks like I have verticillium wilt; I checked out Carolyn's description plus one of the websites listed -
we have had a very lovely and wet spring - only a couple of days in the 90's so far and we have more rain on the way. The rest of the plants are fantastic, but the poor tomatoes....

I am about to go get the sprayer - you know, I haven't yet had a good tomato crop - something goes wrong every year. I am beginning to think I need to stick to growing herbs.

What's in the sprayer that's going to combat verticillium wilt?

Cyn · June 27, 2007

LOL! I read Carolyn's "forwarned" post incorrectly - I have diaconil, and sprayed them heavily - however, it is Vwilt and is sytemic - all I can do is wait and weep.

Glad you asked :_

Cyn, way too much water can make plants wilt sometimes - I've had it happen before.

Suze is right I have had a plant with the tops hanging down from this rain but after a few days with out it it came out of it and is doing fine now.
