tomato plants and the lettuce and musculin look very wilted.
Well, that didn't take long.

I have not given any Miracle Grow yet.
Lose the MiracleGrow and get some fish emulsion on everything when the
soil is just a little humid.

I have always gotten tall gangly tomato plants.
Always? I thought this was your second year? It sounds as if your
tomatoes aren't getting enough Sun. Hang around. Another opinion will be
along any moment.

So if the tops look bad can I take them off and uncover
some of what we buried? Is that a good idea after a few days?
I don't think wacking on a plant when it is already stressed is a good
idea. You can screw it up later.


I am conserned about the lettuce and musculin too.
Lower forties shouldn't be a problem. Dry out (humid, not bone dry) and
fish emulsion.

Thanks for your time again.
It's OK. I prefer your problems to mine.
