Tomato emergency........ please help!!!!!!!
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? |

I'd plan on replacing them, and keep them away from the property line this time. :-( -- -- Peace! Om "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a Son of a Bitch." -- Jack Nicholson |

Roundup is quite short-lived, so if the plants survive at all they may well recover.

They're trying to clean up a messy weed strewn yard left by the old owners of their property. The plants still look healthy and are a nice green color. Just the newest growth is deformed and curled.

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. -- -- Peace! Om "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a Son of a Bitch." -- Jack Nicholson |

Ask your neighbors to be careful with their spraying, because you have put in a lot of effort you don't want it to affect your garden, especially with food prices spiraling upwards.. If they continue, you'll know what their attitude about you is. If they ask about their spraying, be sure to let them know, as matter of factly as you can, about the correlation between their spraying and the damage to your tomatoes. When your tomatoes come in, be sure to offer a few to your neighbors;-) http://100777.com/node/1687 and www.westernmassafsc.org/colombia/SprayReport.pdf The last one, at first glance, may not seem relevant but give it a good perusal. -- Billy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KVTf...ef=patrick.net http://www.counterpunch.org/martin05022008.html |

Tomato emergency........ please help!!!!!!!
I believe roundup is a systemic herbicide. If your plants were
healthy to begin with, you could take a few and try removing the new growth - pinch back. Kind of like sucking the venom from a snakebite (OK, I think that's just Hollywood, but the principle is the same). Only if you leave it go, you're too late. The stuff works it's way to the roots and then kills the plant. Or maybe there was something else going on, and they wilted from too much sun, just coincidence neighbors. I do know one thing, if I had even slightly misted my 'mater plants with roundup, they'd be dead. Karma is a real.. you know. That's why I'm graduating to a flamer this year. Could be fun if I don't blow myself up. Flame on! |

I wish people would read the labels on products before they use them. |
