So,

My heirloom Black Krim tomato seedlings I planted in early January in
pots for future transplant are strangely withering. It's a mystery, no
fungus, enough water but not too much, why why why????

Until I catch my siamese spraying them. They are evil, why do we allow
them into the house? G

On the plus side, we've been enjoying an abundance of chard. I love the
stuff and it's one of those "bulletproof" winter plants. I've had poor
luck with lettuce, spinach and brassicas because they bolt during our
extended winter warm spells, but I can always count on chard. It
tolerates the heat, doesn't care about 22F freezes, and grows like a
weed.

Do you think that your cat knows where the chard is?

;-)

Erg. No, he's excluded from the chard by a fence. Whiz on the greens
or loaves in the root vegetables are unacceptable, from a hygiene
standpoint if nothing else.

The seedlings were in an area he could get to; I didn't figure it to be
an issue and now out of two dozen plants I have one survivor.
