Hello all,

First of all, i'm a newbie. i just moved into a house from an
apartment, and the idea of having an organic kitchen garden has always
excited me, so i built one, and i've got a few crops going now that
are coming out well so far.

The okra, pumpkin vines, spearmint, pepper, and basil plants are
thriving in the soil, and doing very well. I live in central Florida.

My problem: my Heatwave tomato plants have wilted over the past 2
days, even with the same amount of water and plant food and
temperature that they're used to. the only thing different i can
imagine is that a few days ago i bought some Round Up

I thought you said organic kitchen garden...Round Up doesn't sound to
organic to me....that could very well be your problem there...

that said it was
safe for use in flower and vegetable gardens to kill some grass and
weeds that had popped up around the tomato plants. However i didn't
use much of it, just enough to get the grass and weed seedlings, and i
thought it should be safe around the plants. but as of now the tomato
plants have their leaves drooped down, very weak and soft, and they
look pretty pathetic.

The other plants that i did not spray the roundup near are doing well
still.

Would that have caused the problem, or can you imagine anything else?
Is there anything i can do to reverse them wilting and dying before
it's too late?

Thanks!

Paul


How much water & "plant food". What type food? If your weather is like
mine in NC, then it might just be about time for the tomatoes to go...
