Which Wilt virus is in my area?

Fert1 · June 18, 2009

I think Bacterial wilt is one of the worst ones if I remember correctly. I read up on all the wilts to try to figure out which one I have. The closest I've found online is something called "fusarium crown wilt," but I could be mistaken. I've given up trying to figure out what it is, and have accepted the fact that I must grow everything in containers, except SunGold. I am trying a wilt-resistant variety of Rutgers this year to see if it can make it. We shall see how that experiment works out. It's got 27 tomatoes on it already, so I will be very upset if it wilts before it can ripen them.
