More weirdness.

I watered my containers this morning about 9am. About noon I looked
out and saw one of the egg plants was completely wilted. My first
reaction was that I had somehow overlooked watering it, so I watered
it then but it never recovered. By evening it was completely dead.
Even the couple of small egg plants it was bearing had turned mushy.

My thought is you may have drowned it if the drain holes have
clogged. I killed a Dwarf Alberta Spruce that way because the drain
holes had clogged and it was sitting in water. I could not see the
water because of mulch and the foilage from the spruce.

I lost one egg plant from wilt early on and it was in the ground.
Another wilted but came back. They were side by side with a third
that has done fine.

Plants do not pollinate and fruit as well when the weather gets hot.
Plants in containers might be 5-10 degrees warmer than those in the
ground on these hot days making the matter even worse.
