[QUOTE="CottageFarm, post: 1251849, member: 16552"] X2 - they can be saved, but its a lot of work, and would require adding a fair bit of stuff to the soil, and digging up the soil (essentially replanting them). They would have a good chance of recovering in about 3 weeks, but some may always be kinda sickly. Personally, I would replace the plants. Find a nursery with some pretty mature stock, and you wont be set back too much time wise. With the weather warming up they'll establish pretty quickly. When you plant them, dig a larger hole and add some fine mulch and perlite to your native soil. Also some B12 and fish elusion. Apply both after planting. apply the B12 again after 2 weeks, and the fish emulsion weekly for about the 1st month. I have seen both early and late blight, (I think I;ve seen about every tomato disease that exists :frowns: ) both do come on quickly, but you;ll see signs. Spots and discoloration on leaves and/or stems. Still, with this very wet weather, a fungicide would be a good preventative step to take. Your peas may just be responding to the heat. What type are they? You may start seeing problems with peppers soon too. They're not as fussy as tomatoes, but they don't like all that water either. When you can get into the garden again, it might help to mix some perlite or vermiculite into the soil around the plants. [/QUOTE]
