I miss all the pictures we used to be able to see here. Is there no way anymore to post pictures?
As some of you know my daughters and I plant and sell tomato plants each year. It's a very small operation to cover the cost of our gardening needs after tithes and offerings. I'm getting older now and it's not so easy for me to be lifting, dragging, digging and standing for hours hunched over while transplanting. But I do love it. Each year brings new surprises, some delightful, some puzzling and some just plain disappointing.
This year we have had two new disappointing experiences that we can not identify. We are finding some of the nice healthy plants (about 2 to 3 inches tall) laying completely flat. The leaves are not wilted at all. The problem is at the ground level. (the soil is not 'wet' just moist) They are in the greenhouse with all the same conditions as the others and as any other year.
The other problem is with a few flats with perfect germination but got to about 1/2 inch high and stopped growing. After feeding and pampering they are still the same.
Wondering how all our other gardeners out there are doing.
