wilting flower buds, curled leaves

17 years ago

I have a couple tomato plants that are showing signs of something. One has at least a dozen green hamburger-size beefsteak tomatoes. The leaves are curling - starting at the top and the yellow blossoms look dead and brown. Today, the curling was worse and the whole plant looks horrible. Any idea what it might be and how to treat it? I really want those 'maters to ripen.

I forgot to add - the leaves do not have blotches or yellowing

I am in a panic about this same problem. My grape tomato is really going down the tubes in a hurry. I noticed the wilt 2 days ago and now a couple of branches are close to dying. Now I think a couple of other tomato plants are doing the same thing. A giant pumpkin vine is wilting-probably has squash bores or something hopefully not related to my tomato thing.

We've got the wisconsin blues for sure. We wait and wait for fresh veges and then the bugs come or the blight.

I drenched all of my tomatoes with a 10% milk to water solution yesterday morning and I think things look better. Perhaps our problem is weather related-we've had a little rain and hot hot hot weather. Let's hope it is not terminal for out tomatoes
