If they are a variety you particularly love, I would keep some and then yank the rest and replace with something from the garden shop. They will likely come back but they will be set back in their fruiting. Good luck. I totally feel for you. My garlic has started to mold around the neck. Too much water and mulch - only half my fault, but still.

The ammonia wreaked havoc with the roses. At least tomato starts are more easily replaced.<br /><br />Lime neutralizes acid, as posted by anonymous, but in this case the burn is from ammonia, a base in solution, so lime would not be advised, I suspect.Roger A.

But, we have tomato seeds left...so we probably wont' waste the seeds and will go ahead and plant seeds again next year. It is time to plant your tomato seeds again now , if you want plants that will last the rest of the season. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-18059998333076719092010-05-25T07:41:38.600-06:002010-05-25T07:41:38.600-06:00I think they'll bounce back and your seedlings...I think they'll bounce back and your seedlings will be stronger than ever.Chiot's Runhttp://www.chiotsrun.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-49248293103598424742010-05-25T07:29:43.593-06:002010-05-25T07:29:43.593-06:00It's the evil tomato blight come to haunt you ...It's the evil tomato blight come to haunt you this year in a different form.
