most are still holding up, since they are in separate raised bed boxes (I put two per bed - they are small 18"x36"). The other plant in the same box as this one is probably starting to succumb to the same thing, but is holding on - it may make it through until October, but only time will tell. All other plants are for the most part fine, and i used the same exact soil for the other raised beds, so not sure if it is a nutrient deficiency. What is funny is that the Earls Faux was one of the most robust and healthiest looking plants, and putting out some of the earlier fruit as well, and then whamo - goner. Oh well, hopefully it doesn't happen again next year. Keeping my fingers crossed for the rest of them - and yours as well. Good luck and thanks for the well wishes!
