Hello,

First, I am so sorry about your tomato plants.  I think the problem is bacteria wilt disease, which is in the soil.  
The disease develops in high temperatures (over 85°F) and moist soils, (Which is exactly our weather this year),  and is very persistent if introduced. 

I have a link below with pictures so you can confirm the diagnosis.  If it is bacteria wilt you will need to get rid of the plants and not plant tomatoes there again or for at least 3 years. And, you should not eat any tomatoes that look infected.

 One way to manage growing tomatoes in our area is to grow them in pots.  I do almost all mine that way.  It really helps with soil borne diseases.  
Clemson University has a good detail on the problem,

Please let me know if you have any other questions.  Good luck with the rest of your garden and thank you for contacting us! 

Thank you so much for the response!!  Not very good news, especially the 3 year wait.  Guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. 

Thanks again.

Hello,

I thought you maybe interested in the Community Garden Network (CGN) of Wake County.  They just did a presentation on growing tomatoes.

It is ran by Master Gardeners who help educate Community Garden leaders through the Wake County Community Garden Network (CGN). The CGN is a loose group and Google Group email distribution listed (managed by Community Garden lead and Wake Co. Extension agent). The CGN distribution list offers members the ability of exchanging information about community gardens as well as free products (e.g. free seeds, potting soil, pots, plants....) to help CGS success.
If you wish to be included in this distribution list, and are in Wake County please contact Deanna Bigio at
