I've had a bumper crop of okra and various peppers this year, but tomatoes are another story. I had several fruit on my Black Krim plants in June, and that was it. All the other tomato plants show signs of herbicide poisoning. We think that it's from the manure we get from a local horse ranch. What is confusing is that no other plants are affected by this manure, only the tomato's. I've gone as far as replanting tomatoes in fresh soil with standard fertilizer. Anyone know of a method to flush the herbicide out of the soil?

On a separate note, carrots, onion, cabbage, lettuce, and radish are growing real nice since we had a good rain last week.

Lots of water to help dilute it from the soil?

Tomatoes are a mystery to me also. I usually plant a bunch of tomatoes in pots of fresh dirt (cheap topsoil from Walmart) which often does better than the ones planted in the ground.

I am dreaming of attaching a green house/sunroom to my house on the lower back patio. That way I can get up from the computer, walk straight out the basement patio doors right into the sunroom in the winter and harvest some pesticide free produce. It’s a good dream, but a long way from happening.LOL
