For those who have lost a garden to Fusarium, RKN, or both - did the tomatoes not taste right?

I think ours not tasting right/good could be due to having a problem with stink bugs and leaffooted bugs. Add in too much rain washing the flavor out. Also RKN and fusarium choking off nutrients and water must play a role in what a tomato tastes like.

If I was basing this on just how I think they taste - I could say that the failing plants has effected me psychologically. But I'm not basing how they taste just to me. My family and friends don't like how they taste either.

The second part to this is the rest of the garden. The okra planted grew to about a foot tall and stopped. The same happened with the pepper plants of all types. That garden will no longer be a garden. It will be a 45' x 45' chicken pen.
