help on tomato
Hi I only got a few tomato plants but I was wanting to see fruit from this
labor. In ONE day they went from happy green little plants to shriveled brown leaved plants. Its almost like it didnt get enough water but I really felt I did water them enough. Is this a characteristic of some sort of plant disease or did I indeed need to be watering it more? thanks for any help... Cindie |

Wow - one day? Even if you hadn't been watering enough you should see a
progression over several days of wilting, curling etc. I can't think of any of the plant diseases that makes such a profound effect in one day either. First thought that comes to mind for me is if you "burnt" them by over fertilizing? -- Marta (if you email me directly you need to remove the X ) |

Sounds like it might be sun scald. Did you bring them directly from the nursery
and put them out in full sun? Michael Light wrote: Hi I only got a few tomato plants but I was wanting to see fruit from this labor.

PS: I ate my first Stupice today! They are early bird tomatoes and smallish, but
tasty and easily peeled raw. Tasted real good! Never had a Stupice before. I put Epsom salts on mine and a lot of water. I also use compost. Jerry Baker's promo came a couple of weeks ago and had a nice recipe for making tomatoes grow like wild and fruit like crazy. That Jerry Baker is a wild and crazy guy. If I can dig it out, I'll post it here. G a e X a v i e r wrote: Sounds like it might be sun scald. Did you bring them directly from the nursery and put them out in full sun?

Well did not fertilize as of yet, so cant be that! But thanks for the
reply! Cindie "Wayfarer" wrote in message .com... Wow - one day?

No my mom brought them to me they were still in small nursery pots. Put them
to the South side of the house so it did get some shade during the day Cindie "G a e X a v i e r" wrote in message ... Sounds like it might be sun scald.

Hmmmm. Ill look that up on the internet thanks for the tip!. I sprayed some
of that insecticide soap to see if I could salvage them if was some sort of bug. Looks like the tiny top shoots are still green but the rest of the plant is just toast! I dont think Im going to be able to salvage them...So bummed! Just want to learn from it though so I dont repeat it next year or if I venture out on another plant... But thanks Cindie "Hombre" wrote in message ... In article , "Michael Light" wrote: Hi I only got a few tomato plants but I was wanting to see fruit from this labor.
