Tomato Plants Dying

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... |
