There is likely a fungus or boer worms where you began. If you don't have another spot, there are some pricey fungicides to spray on a wilty plant. <br/><br/> Till the ground or just dig it till its soft all around for two times as big as a full grown tomato plant. <br/><br/>Go to a reputable nursery (preferably not Wal-mart) and by some a nice looking seedling. There's plenty still on the shelves here in TN.<br/><br/>Fertilize when planting. Goat poo is my fav;)<br/><br/>Put a half inch of tin foil at the base of the plant where it meets the ground. Could be a myth, but it is said this helps fight an entry for boering worms.<br/><br/>Water daily at the roots not on top of the leaves. The sun will burn the leaves otherwise.<br/><br/>If pests come on the leaves, spray a simple hot pepper/dishsoap pesticide. <br/><br/>You CAN do this. I decided after being a city girl all my life to take up pretend farming four years ago, and I've made every mistake. Now I can make an impressive spaghetti sauce straight from my garden.
