Sooooo, I pulled the plant. It was really in there, so at least it had a good root structure! I carried it right out to the trash barrel for the morning pickup. Washed my hands, and headed back out to the garden.
The mister and I had to run to town today so I brought home 3 Husky Cherry plants. Before I planted the new plant, I decided to remove a large bit of the soil from the raised bed (about 2' round, by 1' deep) and replaced it with a different mixture of soil. I put one of the new Husky's in place of the plant I pulled, and put one on the other side of the bed as well where I'd pulled a few beets this evening.
I have another Husky growing in a large container that I planted earlier this spring, and it's doing great, so I'm hopeful about these new ones. I've never grown a Husky's before this year ... anyone have experience w/ them?
Reviews online suggest that they're flavorful, and a good producer. The older plant I have in the garden sure is a beauty!
Here's a pic of the Husky I planted earlier this spring:
Oooooh, glad to hear you liked them...
Hopefully, the Texas summer isn't as blistering as it was last year, and I can get these babies to give me some 'maters!
If it was CMV (which was what I kind of suspected) you want to check all of your plants for aphids, not just the tomatoes. As a precaution, I would dust or spray. CMV, like any other plant virus, is systemic (lives throughout the entire plant) and is not treatable. It also has a wide range of plants that it can infect. Not wanting to scare you, just trying to arm you with information so you don't lose anything else.
