One week ago, I had the most beautiful and promising tomato crop.  After consecutive days of god knows how much rain--causing standing water in my garden area--they are wilted beyond belief.  The grape tomato plant looks healthy.  The "real" tomatoes gave up waiting for an ark... :'(

I use pear wood for smoking, if you ever have any dropped branches or good sized sticks, let me know if you don't use them for smoking yourself.

Give them a few days to dry out. Depending on where you are and what soil type you have, you may luck out.  You may try some MiracleGro after they dry out a bit to replace any leached out nutrients from the rain.
