Wilting tomatoes
Got a lot of rain the last couple of days and found standing water in my tomato plants. Now they are starting to wilt. Suggestions?

Was the water inside a pot? If so, set the pot on top of bricks or bottle caps so the drainage hole is not blocked and the soil can drain. You can also use an umbrella to shield the plants from all the rain. Wilting plants is a sign of root rot from too much water. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
