I set my tomatoes out a little over a week ago. Some already had
flower
clusters. The neighbor sprayed the fence row a few days later with
Round-Up
and now our tomatoe's new growth is all distorted from the drift. Will
they
recover and produce fruit or will they remained deformed and not bear?
Please, does anyone know? Should I replace them or will they recover?

Only time will tell.

I'd plan on replacing them, and keep them away from the property line
this time. :-(


Thank you for replying. I wish I had somewhere else to move the garden
but
no other sunny spots exist. On the other side of us the owners spray
their
gravel driveway to keep it clean looking. We've gotten the drift from
them a
few times, but not on our tomatoes. Tomatoes must be very sensitive as
the
peppers and okra are unaffected.


Time to put up a barrier? :-)


I wish! A nice 8' tall fence on both sides would be nice.
