I think I have verticillium wilt. This stinks. I sprayed copper tonight, not that it will help much.

Dang dude. I hate that and feel your pain. I had something like that kill 75% of my plants last year. If it happens again grow bags here I come.

Everything I read says "plant resistant varieties." That doesn't help me much at this point. I have a few Mountain Fresh, which are resistant. The plants look great, but hardly have any fruit on them. My one Rebelski plant is also listed as resistant. It looks ok. My Mat-Su don't seem to have wilt, yet. It's hard to tell if it is resistant, though, as the disease seems to occupy certain spots in my rows and not others.
Next year, I will have to either switch to growing more hybrids, or get into grafting. |

1/3 hurts, but really glad it's not a total loss.
Good looking tomato there. |

Mat-Su Express has great fruit-set, as usual.
