I don't know what thread to post this in, but I'm fucking pissed as fuck right now and want to act fast.

I have 30 tomato plants in my yard. I don't spray my lawn because it's bad for just about everything (I need pollinators, and pollinators love clover), but my pompous asshole neighbors complained so much that I finally paid truegreen to come spray the grass areas of my lawn. I have 18 tomatoes in black dirt with only about 24 inches of dirt between my caged plants and the lawn, and my best guess is that the lazy shit they hired to spray out here stood up straight, sprayed around the perimeter, and the wind picked up, because 6 of the 18 are suddenly looking flimsy. Is anything going to get these plants back to health, or is it all for nothing?

Nope, sorry for your loss. Sue them.

I'm not a professional farmer. I can't monetize the value of my plants, and that's all the lawsuits would pay for.

I'm just a person who grows my own damn food.

Where is it commonplace to "spray your lawn"? Sprayed with what?

Why would your neighbors complain?
>>
>>795771
Well if it makes you feel any better those are putting my shit to shame

Do you have a good light spraying hose nozzle? give those babies a nice rinse?
>>
>>795777
My parents spray their lawn for weeds every year. Kills the crabgrass and clover.

Maybe I'm a Luddite but the idea of spraying chems all over your yard like that seems like it must be bad for the environment. I know you aren't supposed to let cows graze for like a week after spraying so it can't be good for you. I don't like it.

I live in a suburb. Everyone here has companies come kill all their weeds. Everyone is expected to have a perfectly green lawn, and, if you don't, smug asshole neighbors will look down upon you, call "ordinance officers" on you (though they almost always ride out to the site and do nothing, because they can't do anything unless you have a huge fallen tree branch on your lawn or your grass is 3 feet), and think you're a weirdo when you say "The clover restores nutrients to the ground and attracts honeybees, which are threatened by the likes of your lawn."
If you're an actual farmer, you're probably not around smug suburbanites very often.

Those aren't mine. I just used google for tomatoes. My injured plants are for later in the season, but they still look far from dead. I'll snap a pic, soon.

Then just tell them that.

Tell those boomers to fuck off and don't cave to their pressure.

No - there's always some creeping charlie and dandelions.
Generally, though, assholes win, around here.

That's what you get for spraying your lawn.

This one is only injured on the top, but you can see pieces of it drying out and shriveling from the chemical, where the other ones just got limp:

Up here in bantario canada. You can't spray lawns and people are freaking out over the dandelions.
I don't get it. They make great wine, tea, salad etc.

This is what one of them not hit by spray looks like, for comparison:

It doesn't look promising. I'd probably check the soil moisture, try to find out what exactly they sprayed, and then leave them a night to get better or worse (unless you found out what they sprayed and there's a better solution.) I might trim the leaves too.

If you're going to rinse them, shield the others from splatter. I'd be cautious about the runoff too. Protect the healthy ones.

Can someone assess the injury? I want these plants to make it.

>>795771
Honestly its your fault for paying some company who sends out jose who doesn't give a fuck and is there for the money.

You made your bed by being a little bitch. Now sleep in it.
>>
>>795801
Those curling branches were definitely hit with overspray herbicide. Don't know whether or not your maters will make it. Only time will tell. Rinse em off and cross your fingers. There isn't anything like an herbicide "antidote", unfortunately.

>>795831
My guess is that it was some iron compound. But, yeah, you're probably right.
