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. :-(

Ask your neighbor to replace the plants.
Roundup is quite short-lived, so if the plants survive at all they may well
recover.

I don't want to get on their bad side over a few dollars. 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. We're sick over this.

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.

Don't just sit there and stew. 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;-)

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've considered one of those! Where do you get them?
Are they legal everywhere?

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

I will for sure. I already gave them some flowers that didn't fit in the
flower bed. They're very nice people, really.

They still look good except for the new deformed growth. They wont die I'm
sure. I will pick up more this week at Lowe's. I wish people would read the
labels on products before they use them.

Some people do not care about their neighbors and are "allergic" to
green!

I'm not saying yours are, I just have one that is.

Maybe the Dept. Of Ag where you live can suggest something resistant to
RoundUp.
