Herbicide Damage

jreseburg
17 years ago

This is my second year growing tomatoes and I'm obviously still a newbie because this year I spread broad leaf "weed and feed" lawn fertilizer too close to my tomato beds. It was very obvious what I had done the next morning, when around 40% of my plants were bent over and all the leaves were curling and twisting. It was one of those "smack yourself in the head" moments.

The affected plants were already setting fruit, so my question(s) are A: are the fruits that were present during the herbicide application safe for consumption? And B: what can I expect for future fruit set? The plants that are affected are severely stunted. They're all about 2ft tall and show no signs of getting larger. Meanwhile the unaffected plants are getting to the 5ft mark. Thanks in advance.
