Three of my tomato plants have wilted. The first one, Sungold, I though perhaps it needed more water due to a string of 90 degree days. After two days of watering, the plant was completely limp. After some research on the internet, I decided to take the plant out. I cut the stems and looked for telltale signs of bacterial wilt but did not find any. I kept the tomatoes that were beginning to ripen and tossed the rest. More research brought me to the conclusion my bales were waterlogged. This week, two more plants show wilt. They perk up in the morning and night, but once the sun hits them they look like the following picture. Of course on the second day of not watering we had two inches of rain. Today I am hoping the breeze will help dry out the bales.
