This is the first year I have lost tomato plants to what looks like Fusarium - Tomato Wilt. Some of the smaller plants struggled and died, but about 1/5 of thetotal planting survived, though even they are not exactly bearing up a storm. Only a few cherry and grape tomatoes survived; the grape tomato fruit is especially delicious.
I went to this Web site:
Terrifying!
- How can I get rid of them? Have to scrape away all soil? How deep?
- Is it worth taking a chance planting the varieties that the Web site says are more resistant?

Note that I planted several of the above, and labeled them carefully, but now I can't tell what survived!
- What other vegs can I plant in that area that won't be affected by the Fusarium wilt? Onions? Beans? What????
