green beans and green tomatos
Last night we had fresh greenbeans, from grandma's garden. Delicious just cut in half and steamed. We also had to pull out one of the tomato plants since it had gotten something. My guess is a fungus of some type, but I'm not sure. We took off the green tomatoes, so I sliced and breaded two small ones for fried tomatoes.
From some research, it seems that it might be "primordia". Which makes sense, I think the plants are too close to each other.

Tomato stem primordia may develop all along any tomato stem regardless of its proximity to the ground. Often it is a response to high humidity levels in the air or to excessive watering/rain around the roots. The plant attempts to compensate for the excess moisture around its soil roots by developing more roots. But the root initials themselves are not harmful to the plant. They are normal.
If you have a section of the garden that is showing a greater number of primordia and is also having wilt problems then it is likely that it is too wet there for some reason - poor drainage, too much watering or rain, etc. Diseases are more likely to develop there too.
