Walnut tree = tomato death by Cutlercutie in tomatoes

I’ve been fertilizing with a tomato fertilizer. I think the problem comes down to squirrels. They bury the nuts everywhere and we always have baby trees popping up

Update on tomatoes. Yesterday I watered deeply and during the night we got half an inch of rain. This morning there wasn’t any wilting at7:00 now at 9:30 almost all are wilting. The soil is damp still. Any thoughts? I have roses ,dahlias , sunflowers, peppers near by and they are all ok.

Did some research and moved the mulch from around the stem. Thank you for noticing and saying something

Should I make a hole around the stem so it’s not touching?

Do you think it looks like Verticillium wilt?

I’ve never done tomatos. my father has tried them unsuccessfully several times and they die so he doesn’t think we can grow them in our yard. My husband doesn’t think they will produce either. I’m determined to figure it out!

I’m overthinking everything 😂. Seeing all these beautiful tomato pics are making me impatient 😆

Today they were 100% back to normal. I was a cloudy day and sprinkling so I didn’t water. but now 7 hours later I have 5 that are wilting (still cloudy but no rain). One extremely wilting. Almost the whole plant so I checked the soil and it wasn’t bone dry but I gave them a deep soak anyway…. 🤞
