Here are the tomato beds: slicers, romas and the sad cherry tomatoes. The leaves are curled up and I don't know why. I treated with BT first, then 5 days later with insecticidal soap; yesterday I limed and fertilized their bed. The leaves are curling tightly up into themselves. I hope it is weather stress and not a virus, bug or fungus.Any suggestions?

Oooo, this looks like something I've had on my young tomato plants before. I believe it is wilt. Some plants can fight through it, although they will be weakened and never look as lush and productive as healthy plants. I was told it might have been caused by me re-using planter pots from one year to the next. This spring I started with all new, so we'll see if that theory holds! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what I was talking about in my last post!! I've talked to several people-a few have even taken a look at the garden-most have agreed that it is due to our cool nights-and it hasn't reached 70 degrees here today-Crazy weather-but the squash did start blooming-go figure!
ReplyDeleteWith tomatoes it is always something! I had crop failure last year due to diseased leaves. Too much rain. I never know if it is early blight or late blight.
ReplyDeleteI haven't planted outside yet because of our excessively cool nights. Now we are getting lots of rain....warming up though. It may be June before I get mine out.
I hope yours go ahead and produce! Good Luck.
