Ok, dummy here. I live in NC, and for one week we had weather reaching 80 degrees. So, like everyone else, we all ran to the store and bought garden vegitable plants. Not knowing we were in for a hard freeze the following week, two of my tomato plants wilted over. Will they come back? Any answers will be greatly appreciated.
Hard freeze! Will my tomato plants come back?
Unfortunately, most likely not. However, wait until the end of this month and put out some new plants. You'll be fine. You probably even have time to start some seedlings. I live in New York City and have started seedlings as late as 5/1 and I got tomatoes just fine.
Reply:if the tops wilted and turned black then you need to re-plant them, I know my fruit trees had the flowers a week ago now we won't get fruit because the blossoms were killed, back to your plants, they probably won't produce any fruit, save some time and replant them in May.
Reply:No, tomatoes don't come back.I always wait until at least May to plant tomatoes. I like them fresh from the garden and am in a hurry to get fresh ones, but it is just something that you can not rush in the season. I do plant potatoes and onions early in the spring. I have had them freeze and still procuce real well.
Reply:Not likely. Tomatoes are very tender plants. You will have to plant new ones. The best advice is to wait until all danger of frost is past -- usually May 1st.
Reply:Nope
Reply:I live in georgia and my biology teacher told me that all of the farmers up north, (georgia) were not going to have any more peaches and such because of our cold weather. I am not sure if it applies to you to, but I would buy more just in case. Bes tof luck.
