| I have a small garden that has 3 tomatoes, 1 eggplant, 2 broccoli, 4 zucchini, 3 pepper plants, and 4 patches of cucumber seedlings, with marigolds interspersed throughout. The Better Boy tomato is wilted throughout with yellow bottom leaves, 2 patches of cukes are wilting, and one set of broccoli leaves are wilting. We have had enough rain and the soil is damp. The other plants look good. Does this mean that some bacterial wilt or virus is claiming just the wilting plants? If I rip them out now, can I plant anything else in that hole the year? Sigh... |

| Could you post pictures of the plants? There are many possible causes, most of them far more likely than any possible virus disease. But to be able to ID we'd need photos and much more information or a detailed description of the symptoms. No point in ripping them out until you know what the real cause is and the symptoms you describe so far could be nothing more than too much water. Dave |
