How come some of my tomato plants have got the wilt?

Hi Mitch

 

I have some tomatoes growing in my vege garden and some growing pots.  The pots were going OK and I have had a fairly good crop off them, however the one I wanted the most to grow was the Grosse Lisse.  It was only a little plant but already had 3 tomatoes on it and a few more flowers.  I was looking after it well and then I came out today and it has wilted.  I have been careful not to water the leaves.  I also had a Mini Roma wilt that was growing in the vege garden.  Can you tell me what I might have done wrong to make this happen so I will know for future growing.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @jocdave,

 

Are the plants completely dead now, or could you share some images of them with our helpful members? If we could see them, we might be able to identify some issues.

 

A wilted plant sounds like it's related to moisture, either too much or too little. What's the weather been like near you? You say this happened overnight, not over the space of a week?
