Three weeks ago, my tomato plants were fantastic. They were tall and had lots of tomatoes on the vines. However, I went out on one morning and I found one stem that was damaged. I thought it might have been damaged by wind or rain so I cut it off. I went out the next day and there were several more stems with the same damage. I cut these off also. I was away for two days and when I came back on Wednesday every the plant was dead. The stems were not cut all the way through. It looked like someone took a sharp knife and cut into the stem.
I have no idea what caused it. I have been growing tomatoes for years and I have never seen damage like that. Does anyone have any idea what caused it and, what I can do to prevent it in the future? I tried to attach a picture but it wouldn't go through.
