Don’t forget to pray over the crops of your fields, Heavenly Father is an excellent gardener and longs to help us. I like how you took control over the situation and have two backup plans 1) get new plants and a treatment for them and 2) go to the you-pick farm and get your tomatoes from them. We can see that you were very disappointed but you didn’t bellyache over and over about it, you took action. This was a good lesson for us.
So sorry about the loss of some of your tomatoes Amanda. Happy to hear that a friend gifted you some more plants. Praying that they all produce well for you all. Little Miss Sunshine sure was looking pretty in her little dress and her hair. You all stay healthy and safe. God Bless Y'all.
Hello,hope the new tomatoes grow well there.Sad the other plants didn't make it.Better luck next year growing that variety.Sunshine looks pretty in her dress.Be well and safe through the storm you all.Love,Honey kitty and I.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡..........
Well I've sadly had my experience with Verticillium wilt (I'm sure that is not spelled correctly) We would pull up the plant and totally dispose of it in a trash bag and put in the trash. No matter how soon we would throw one out it would already be spreading another and another until all 24 plants were gone. This went on for 3 years. It affects the plants in the nightshade family so it also took out my eggplant and almost all my bell peppers. I was devastated. I was told the only remedy was to not plant there for 7 years!!! Now talk about being devastated!!😔 Well this year we put in so.e raised bed on the entire opposite side of our property and I'm happy to report that I'm able to grow the most beautiful tomatoes in what seems like forever!! I may drool a little every time I go out to prune them, lol. I wish you the best of luck on what you are trying...I've been there and feel your pain❤
@@HearthandDome I have same problem I was instructed that its a virus. but as just stated, have to sterilize grd for 1-2 years. i can't plant in any ground that has ever had tomatoes. i do strictly lg containers now.but i hope your approach works.
Ok...so with me having the same problem...and I am growing in containers...does this mean I need to replace all of the soil next year? I am in a subdivision...there are no other plants around us...do I assume the plant was already infected when I bought them? What do I do to ok eep this from happening next year? HELP!
@@vickimoore7646 I'm really not sure. Our Ag extension agent just told us not to plant in that area for seven yrs!! He said it was a virus in the dirt. I guess you could try getting new dirt from another area. We moved our tomatoes, bell peppers and eggplant to a whole new area and so far so good. Good luck!
I had the same problem this year. I was told to destroy the affected plants immediately by people at the nursery. I also got a spray to use on the other plants...not organic...had to use it 2-3 times. The verdict is not in yet. Good luck.
I know where you coming from. Been having the same problem this year. This is the first year in several years since I planted a garden in this spot. Very disappointed in loosing so many plants. One thing I know, when pull up the tomatoes 🍅 plants, destroy it. Don't put in a compost pile. Good luck with your new plants.
Oh man, this went from tragic to hilarious when your daughter approached it with the magnifying glass, stared it intently, and announced "There's some kind of disease on this!"
@@HearthandDome did you use manure ? If so you might want to check if where you got the manure if the animal's grass feed was sprayed for weeds, I forget what the spray is called but it will wilt and curl the leaves and will kill it in most cases. This happened to deep south homestead he has a video on it .
I just saw this video (and subscribed to your channel) and I'm really sorry for what happened to your beautiful plants. I'm in Las Vegas, Nevada (Zone 9a) and I just lost 11 out of 23 container tomato plants that I grew from seed, and the ones that are left do not look healthy. I have a feeling that I will lose my entire crop this year. Everything was bearing fruit and a couple of my vertical growing plants were reaching over six feet high and starting to produce beautiful fruit on them. I treated them for fungus (which stopped), I stopped blossom end rot by treating them with garden lime, I fed them Neptune's Harvest fish fertilizer, and within a few days they just wilted away and died. Many of them still with ripening fruit on them. I put so much work into my plants and I'm really sad and discouraged and at the same time baffled as to what happened. One good thing is that my basil, peppermint, and garlic are thriving. I guess there's always next year. Thanks for the great video and I hope your new transplants give you many harvests throughout this 2021 growing season.
@@NateHuller: I'm sorry to hear that, Bro. Want to hear something crazy? My tomato plants that I thought were done and dying after the season are now producing better than they did during the summer (and it's the middle of November!)
They’re so SENSITIVE to stuff ! Mine are just turning now and I’m frantically doing what I can to save them. Cucumbers also die off in couple of days hey?!
I know you were just devastated. I sure hope the new plants are able to make it & you get a bountiful harvest from them. I know Mother Nature is not always fair but she could be a little more reasonable! Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️😢🙏🙏🙏🙏
I can certainly relate. I had planted tomatoes on drip tape in two areas of my garden. Zone A became infected with bacterial wilt, and I lost 22 of the 25 plants in that Zone. In Zone B, I lost none of the 28 plants. All of these plants were grown from the same seeds and transplanted from the same seedling tray. Next year, I'll be using copper fungicide before I plant. Now the only problem I have are field rats in my tomatoes!!! I live in a suburb in Central Florida so getting rid of them is a real challenge. God is happy - He plays with us!
I am so sorry because I know It is heart rending after going to so much trouble growing tomato's, they are supposed to be easy to grow but I know there are a lot of things that can go wrong. I definitely pray over mine. I will be happy if I get to eat even just 1 homegrown tomato this year.
Thank you for this video. Im standing here watching my tomato plant wilt 1 branch at a time within minutes. Its in a huge pot with another tomato of a diff variety. That plant looks perfect but you answered my question on that. The other question i have is you only sprayed the new plants with the copper that doesnt help with bacterial wilt per your video?? No soil treatment at all??
We had blight this year and I was wondering if colloidal silver would help so I did a search. It seems that it can! I would do a search on it...It recommends not to put too much & to dilute it...
So sorry about your tomatoes just a suggestion maybe let a few suckers grow on your spiral tomatoes so that you can root them up so that you will have extra plants to insure a good seed harvest as well as more tomatoes of that kind
I believe this is happening to me with my cherry tomato plant. The leaves at the top are just drooping. I'm going to cut the stem and see if I see the milky substance. I'm totally numbed about it. The beginning of your video when you're hunched over and grief stricken...that's me right now. 😑 hoping I have better luck next year.
When I get a problems like that, I ask on the web and some of the University centers come on and explain the issue and how to deal with it and I was able to save my tomatoes one year. I think it was the Iowa state U.
So if copper won't help with bacterial wilt, why spray it? I have some tomatoes dying and I have no idea why, but I'm gonna cut some stems and look for white! I have a feeling mine have gotten drift from the farmers spraying in our area. 😡 I hope you have a great tomato harvest! 🥰
This sucks so bad,. Thanks for making this video. 6 out of 10 tomatoes I planted in the ground have wilted. I did the wilt test but nothing oozed out. There is browning inside of stems at bottom. I removed plants. The Paul Robeson had some big tomatoes on it. CAN I EAT THESE? 🍅
Bummer. We had a really good watermelon crop one year and a hurricane sat out in the gulf for like a week not moving just dumping rain on us. I could not do anything to get of the slugs and seemed like they just multiplied by the hour. By the week's end I had no watermelon leaves and tons of unde ripe watermelon laying everywhere. It was so sad. Usually always get boost from another crop though when one fails. So hopefully you get an abundance of something else.
look up off grid with Doug and Stacy they have a lot of knowledge there surrounded by the Amish and they to also do farming and they've lived off grid for years so just give them a holler on their handle I'm more than sure they'll be able to help you out
Oh girl. That sucks 😭 Looks bacterial to me. I am battling major early blight right now. I feel your pain! Last year blight took all my tomato plants (18 of them) by the first week in July
I am speaking from poor country Bangladesh I think farmers of developed country know how to produce good agriculture but we have medicines in our country but no consultant so we can't treat other diseases including tomato wilting disease I think you can help me some you tell me about wilting How to treat soil for diseases try hard step by step I will treat the land as per your suggestion please tell me the rules from land preparation to harvesting
Amanda It happened here too. I had to go buy tomatoes from a nearby farm. Sad bc mime always have done great. I think certain seeds had gotten infected. I just don't know.😥
Take that plant to your local Farm Bureau. They might be able to tell you. That is weird. Never saw that. You didn't plant these tomatoes in the same place you did last you, did you?? If so, that is probably your problem. They have to be moved every year. Hope the rest survive just fine. Crushing up Tums and putting them in the hole w/compost when planting helps keep the plants strong too. Praying for you garden!
Hey..my tomatoes were super healthy..now they are dying from top dwn...curling up and dying at yhe growing tip...leaves not yellowing..any ideas? Its affecting whole crop🤯. Thanks for vid
So disappointing. When you touch a diseased plant do not touch another one w/o washing hands. Also I've had some success with spraying them with a diluted hydrogen peroxide mix. There's several videos about it on YT.
@@georgiagardengirlshomestea1560 I would bet it's more than 1 T per gallon. I think you can do up to 8T per gallon. I've never heard that hydrogen peroxide works...but it makes sense.
This is happening to my tomato patch. One by one by one. Even in a separate tomato in a container. I've grown in this patch for 5 years without this happening. This spring I tilled in peat moss (big box brand) and composted manure (bagged). The container soil was mixed potting mix and peat. Possibly from the peat. My question though, is how did the transplant tomatoes do in the same area? I read that this bacteria or fungus stays in the ground for years. I'm worried about next year in the same soil..
I have a 4 foot tomato plant that was healthy yesterday now totally wilted today. It has stayed watered. It has 8 large green tomatoes on the vine. But today it just stopped. It's totally wilted. I'm about to remove it based on what Im seeing. We have 120 plants. I can't risk a disease.
PLEASE , don't plant anything in that area untill you get a soil test! It takes lime many months befor have a desirable effect so now is a good time to start getting the soil ph to a happy spot .x 6.8 to 7,2 . Getting help from a ag. supply business is worth the time and a sourse for a soil test.
I saw where a man injected hydrogen peroxide into the stems and it helped but I’m not sure how it ended up. We lost all our tomatoes this year to wilt.
Hi Amanda, after several years of growing tomatoes and losing many to all different forms of problems I found that planting marigolds around the plants helped eliminate my problems. I seemed to only have problems with my heirloom tomatoes for some reason.
Did you do a PH test. Could be your soil is to acidic, or real low in natural minerals. You can send your plant samples in a baggie to a agriculture exstention agency and get it tested.
Roger your right and we knew the soil was too acidic. We did amend with lime but that takes months to really make a difference. We may use Basic Slag in this area next time or anywhere we need a quick rise in PH. Thanks for your reply!!!
That has got to hurt! I am sorry for your loss, but I also learned a lot from you in this vlog. I don't eat many tomatoes because of my arthritis, but I do like a fresh home grown tomato in the summer! I freeze green ones and extras for soups and sauces. Are the tomatoes inedible if the plant is affected by the bacterial wilt?
Tomato plants have been babied and pampered for too long. Years of perfect ph, years of spray, years of pest control. Tomatoes have no ammunity anymore. My best crops i did nothing to.
Wilt causing bacteria is soil borne, if they're present in soil they enter plants through wounds caused in roots during transplanting / through nematode attack.
My tomatoes did the same thing this year but only after the fruit was halfway or better grown, last year I got thousands of tomatoes we couldn’t give em away fast enough .😤😭😤😭 However my banana peppers are putting out more than ever that are next row over I don’t get it.
Hi Sa Kunz and thanks for noticing just that. You are absolutely correct in that a fungicide will do nothing for bacterial wilt. We added a comment to that effect in the video but I also realize it appeared like we were treating our existing plants with copper for a bacterial infection. What we were doing instead was treating some new plants with copper as we did notice some fungal blight on a few of the plants. It was just a preventative. Thanks for watching and clarifying!!!

I took her tomato masters class years ago. Ive never had any tomato issues since.
That’s so sad. I pray you’ve stopped whatever is causing all this. God bless y’all.
Thanks for your prayers. We really cannot stop a bacterial infection we can just make it hard for it to thrive by lowering the acidity of the soil.

Good luck with these.

I tell you what how important to rotate the crops every year. ❤
So disappointing. When you touch a diseased plant do not touch another one w/o washing hands. Also I've had some success with spraying them with a diluted hydrogen peroxide mix. There's several videos about it on YT.

Sooo sorry! All that hard work down the drain.
My tomatoes too...what should i do?can fungicide help this?
Thanks for sharing. I learnt from this
Sorry I feel your pain.
If a mole or gopher eats the tap roo it will do this. I know from past loss.
PLEASE , don't plant anything in that area untill you get a soil test! It takes lime many months befor have a desirable effect so now is a good time to start getting the soil ph to a happy spot .x 6.8 to 7,2 . Getting help from a ag. supply business is worth the time and a sourse for a soil test.
Similar appearing issue we had heavy rains

What does bacterial wilt come from? Is it from using compost?
Wilt causing bacteria is soil borne, if they're present in soil they enter plants through wounds caused in roots during transplanting / through nematode attack.
What causes bacterial wilt?
Bacterial Wilt took my bell peppers, they were knee high with monster peppers on them. In one day they were dead.
Maybe try baking soda water over the affected area.
I would try that.
Interesting
Thanks
Im going to try colloidal silver
My tomatoes did the same thing this year but only after the fruit was halfway or better grown, last year I got thousands of tomatoes we couldn’t give em away fast enough .😤😭😤😭 However my banana peppers are putting out more than ever that are next row over I don’t get it.
Charlotte from Ky.😀
How about h202 or Epsom salt? Has anybody tried
I’m sorry!
Aww that sad to see.

Happened the day after we gotb15+ inches of rain to all the tomatoes and all the beans.
Maybe the rain caused all the crazy chemicals they spray our sky with , to drop and settle???
Exactly what hapenned
