Are these done for? Zone 8B Texas. These 3 in ground tomatoes have been wilted like this for 2 days after 3 days of torrential rain. I have a total of 4 tomatoes in ground, and 3 are wilted while one seems fine. all my other tomatoes are in grow bags or pots and they're fine as well.

    Ground is probably saturated. Not much you can do but pray that it drains.

    I have one extra plant that is not in a bed. It has done the same thing after the rain all my raised bed toms are fine. Still not sure if the in ground tomato will recover it was my extra anyhow

    Too much water and the micro-biota in ground goes anaerobic and you have a case of the wilt. It is dead. Pull the plant up, cut open the base and the inside vascular tissue will be turning brown.
