I have to tomato plants that are dying but I have no clue what is going on?????

We had a big rain here friday. It flooded part of my vegtable garden. After the rain went away 2 of my tomato plants in the back corner of my garden are wilting (leaves are turned down and they look ragged). The rest of my plants look well. Nothing is turning brown or falling off from the plants. Should I water them. Should I transplant them. Should I put some miracle grow on them!!!!!!

No, don't water them. At least not until the ground dries out.


Are they in full sun? Ours will look a little ragged too after a heavy deluge. They perk back up in a few days. Seems like the mud splashed on them weighs them down. If that particular part of your garden tends to flood maybe you could try a raised bed there next year. Steady work with a garden isn't it? But well worth the results. Waiting on my first tomato right now. Picking squash tomorrow. Good luck to you.
Reply:Sounds like they got too much rain. i would transplant them if they aren't too big. Be careful of slugs eating the plants. You might want to put cut down bleach bottles around the tomatoe plants.
Reply:my condolence
Reply:give them a proper burial. I will say a few words.





Friends and Family we are gathered here today to remember this tomato plant. It was a good plant a kind plant who could have fed so many. We can never understand why he was taken so soon. He will be missed.
Reply:maybe some miracle grow Im currently working on the same problem
Reply:No problem, they simply drowned. Plants take nutrients from the soil, too much water and they suffer, as yours have from lack of oxygen. IF you transplanted them already, they may recover. They may also recover if not drowned again. DONT overwater any plant. Miracle grow is a stimulant fertilizer. It may work, but its not a transfusion. Tomato plants that expire may be composted, with or without due reverential services..though considering the expense, it might be small comfort to say, dust to dust, ashes to ashes, green to compost.

Reply:They basically drowned. If a plant gets too much water it can get root rot or it can cause too much pressure in the plant cells causing them to burst and thus wilt. You might be able to save them, but you may have to hold a funeral for the plants. Drain the water away from them if you can to prevent further root rot or damage from having too much water. After that, you will have to make sure that the plants are not thirsty for water yet don't have too much water. Because when some of the roots die from being overwatered it seriously reduces the amount of roots that it has to provide water to the plant. Thus, later it becomes dehydrated. You might try trimming the plant back. That way the reduced root system doesn't have so much of a plant to support. If you basically leave it untrimmed you have a big plant on a root system that has been seriously reduced...see the problem? If the plant is trimmed, it gives the roots a chance to regrow and the plant can to come back.
