I think the Brandywines are gone. I'm going to fuss over them a bit this weekend, but if they haven't recovered by Monday I'll have to replace them with others from the market. I am really, really upset about this. :(
Green stems...but are the leaves kind of blackened and curling up?
I'm thinking frost damage, m'dear...I won't even put my tomatoes out to harden off until after this weekend, and won't plant them until the first week of June. Last year I set them out on our Memorial Day weekend (last weekendish in May) and then we got a killing frost right after and I lost nearly all my plants. Never again!!
No, the leaves aren't black. They just withered and turned pale green/vaguely yellow. No curling, either. Just... flatlining, I guess you could call it.
Next year, I am totally waiting until June before planting tomatoes. Woe. :(
We get a long weekend on or around May 24th, which is traditional "put your tomatoes out" weekend in Montreal. Except that this year due to calendar weirdness the holiday is almost a week early, on May 18th. Montreal is about 2 weeks warmer / earlier than where I am, and we've got frost predicted for overnight Sunday & Monday, so my tomatoes are likely going out sometime around the 27th or 28th of May.
