Sue starts with ... I have planted these tomatoes in the same bed about 6 weeks ago, (8 in all in 4 beds) they all got off to a good start and now about half have a wilting problem. Ive not come across this problem before, should I pull the affected plants out? I dont know whats happened, they all recieve around the same sun and water etc???

Brendan says... Could be Verticillium or Fusarium wilt, tomatoes are notorious for this disease. Don't think there's a 'cure' other than pulling it out, sorry :-( (someone else might have a cure?) Maybe try a different type of tomato next year? Some are more resistant to wilt than others :-) I notice you planted the tomatoes in the same bed, I'd try some crop-rotation next year too. As a last resort, I'd try some Seasol, won't hurt. btw, the rhubarb in the backround of pic 1 looks very good :-) | About the Author Brendan Mackay, Q 7th October 2010 8:16am #UserID: 1947 Posts: 1722 View All Brendan's Edible Fruit Trees |

Pauline says... Silverbeet and chard are the same plant. Rainbow chard being the name used to describe the packs of multicoloured seeds you can get (sometimes having plain silverbeet in there too). Silverbeet being just plain silver looking one. :) I have seen plant labels here which actually list both silverbeet and chard as the name (on rainbow chard). Funny, when I first came to Oz 3 years agonobody knew what I was talking about when I was talking about rainbow chard. Nice to see times are changing. :) | About the Author Pauline Adelaide 8th October 2010 12:05am #UserID: 1532 Posts: 293 View All Pauline's Edible Fruit Trees |

Lorna says... Like I said Pauline, the picture is not the Silverbeet, since Silverbeet, as the name suggests, is the white or silver coloured stem. The name Rainbow was used so that people knew that they were getting some different colours. The Rainbow Chard will throw dozens of variations of colours, whereas the Silverbeet generally throws white stems unless it has had chance to cross. The Rainbow Chard coloured ones have been popular around here for at least 15 years, and I have been saving seed for around that time too. Maybe just late getting to Adelaide....... | About the Author Lorna Albany WA 8th October 2010 10:22am #UserID: 591 Posts: 91 View All Lorna's Edible Fruit Trees |
