Darin, I saw no evidence of any herbicide damage and there are different symptoms for different herbicides.

TMV is often confused, and rightly so,with Cucumber Mosaic Virus the symptoms are different.

If it was herbicide spray damage from nearby why did you lose only 3 plants. I've seen your pictures of how you grow your plants and their distances apart and that just doesn't resonate with me .

Carolyn, obviously her opinion only, but has seen damage from herbicides, CMV and TMV in the various geographic locations where she has grown tomatoes and not just in NYS either.
