Carmen_in_the_Garden Tomato Wilt Recovery

Tuesday, 29 Jul 08 (posted about 5 months ago)

The plants were really suffering from the wilt, one I had removed last weekend at the insistence of my son, AJ. I clipped off any branch with serious wilt and then I sprayed the entire garden, with focus on the tomatoes, with 3 in 1 fungicide. Then 2 days later I set the sprinkler on in the morning and then completely forgot to turn it off and went to work. I remembered at work and I tried to reassure myself that it was no different then if it had rained all day. I got back 9 hours later and was sure that this was going to be the end of my tomato plants. Three or four days later I checked on my plants and the tomatoes were looking much better; the following morning the wilt was gone! I didn’t think that a plant could survive wilt but I guess so.
