My tomato plants are kinda weird - tall, spindly, with the lower leaves yellow.
Been a busy spring and I got my garden started VERY late, and I bought them at Home Depot this year. Kinda thought I might be making a mistake, looks like I did. "Uhhhhhh......"

I have something that is affecting my kale. It is brown and withers the leaves. It doesn't sound like it is related to this fungus.
I am a bit nervous since I buy my organic seed potato from Maine (I am in Colorado). I have tomatoes and cucumbers growing well next to each other and a nearby bed that has lots of potatoes. So far everything looks fine. My tomatoes and potatoes are organic but the cucumbers were from Home Depot.
I have two separate garden areas on either side of my yard and so if one is affected it will hopefully not contaminate the other. I would recommend that those of us who are gardening for survival reasons that you start to plant separate gardens so that you may quarantine an infected garden if necessary.
Does anyone know if this disease remains in the soil through the winter?

Re: Plant disease hits eastern US veggies early, hard
Hopefully I accidently hit on a GREAT solution to the present weather problem of continued rain, slow growth.
I sent for Siberian tomato plants from out west, that claimed the seeds were brought here from Siberia by Russian immigrants, AND, are VERY frost resistant.
Made me think of how the tomatoes are REALLY producing in September, and suddenly you get a unexpected frost early in that month, and lose the plant and any future fruit. So I bought a dozen, gave two to my son, and expect to keep seeds from same for next year, IF, I can get through ALL of September without losing most of them AND, get a much larger crop for canning. Haven't checked my plants, but DID raise a dozen from seed, in EARLY May.

Re: Plant disease hits eastern US veggies early, hard
yellow leaves ALWAYS mean too much water. If you stick a shovel in the ground, how far down does the soil remain dry? Also....never water tomatoes right before the sun hits em....they'll bake...burn. Should be watered on the ground, usually in the evening after the sun has set.
I've never heard of using colloidal silver on them. Something strikes me as "not good" about this idea, since the tomato is a night shade, but I've got nothin to go on with that.....it's a curious idea. As for carpet on the ground.....make sure that the carpet pieces don't have stuff like carpet cleaner/stain guard/water block stuff on it. Some of the newer carpets are packed full of all sorts of junk. That stuff transfers into the ground and right into the food you're growing. Newspapers and cardboard boxes are also good options....and they break down.

I don't *think* the yellow leaves are too much water. The leaves are curling up during the day unless I water them, and once watered, they uncurl slowly. About the watering...I've been watering twice per day, because of the extraordinarily hot Texas sun. My soil is balanced and has enough clay content to prevent instant runoff, but not too much to prevent good drainage.
But get this...I get CRACKS IN THE DIRT by early afternoon, if I don't water in the early morning! That's how hot it's been here!

Re: Plant disease hits eastern US veggies early, hard
I'm on Long Island and had this shit about 2 yrs ago.Whole yard of tomato plants wiped out.
That fall put grass and the leaf clippings all composted shit on the 2 garden areas and covered with a tarp.Didn't bother to plant ANYTHING last yr. So the area basically stayed like that for 1 1/2 yrs.
That shit gets into the soil and can ruin next yrs crop. The heat built up by the tarped -composted area must have workd well to kill what was leftover.
I bought all Bonnie plants from Home Depot and have NO fungus at all. All healthy as can be. Actually pretty glad -don't think I could go through another wipe out this yr..
