You probably over watered the tomatos.

If you over water tomatos they will die fast.

Put some plant food like miracle grow on them and try to dry them out.

Pay attention to how wet the oil is you fool.

I can't believe some people don't even know how to grow plants. When civilization collapses and things turn to shit you city boys are gonna die quick. Thank God....

You burned the plant but it's still alive. Go get some high nitrogen soil like Gro Mulch and mix it into the soil, do not take it out and replant it, it could go into shock and not revive the transfer. Should come back in about 24-48 hrs.

No. DO NOT do this. DO NOT MESS WITH HER SOIL.

The plant is merely wilting and will recover quickly with the right amount of water. They just need more.

Yes it was the only time I had but I put a shitload of ice cubes in it as well. I just can't see how it would die so quickly, I don't even think it's been 48 hours. No tomatoes have fallen off or anything but the plant looks like it's hanging a little lower than two days ago.

Also, tell her to pick the tomatoes when they are not just ripe from the plant. NEVER let them get red on the plant. Pick them when they are a pale reddish orange and let them ripen off the plant. You will have 100 percent tomato success. I have no idea why people waste tomatoes and end up with mostly a bad mushy mess as they leave them on the plant to rot when they think its ripe. Its not. Do as I say and you will have fresh tomatoes with every single fruit.

I've never heard of putting ice cubes in water to water plants...maybe this "shocked" them?

why were you not staying at her house while this occurred. Water plants every 12 hours or so if your worried, just don't over water. You shouldn't have work that much, just call off or make up some excuse why you can't come in, you have to keep her plants alive. I tell you they work you to death in this country.

lol

Acurate post here. They just need more water. Best way to tell if they are watered correctly is stick you finger in the dirt to your first knuckle and the soil should be moist to the tip of your finger.
My basil wilts about every 3-4 days then looks great the next day. Got basil, oregano, rosemary and tomatoes going in pots right now. Strawberries, zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers in the raised garden. Zuccs are going to be ready for harvest sometime this week. Can't wait, slice longways into quarters and grill on the Weber grill.
Don't worry though, her plants are GTG.
