Tomato plants wilting
I had a six pack of small tomato plants I was going to put in the ground this weekend. It was a little cold and damp yesterday so I never put them in. When I went to plant them late in the day today, they seemed to be wilted and somewhat yellowed. I trimmed back the tops some (hoping to save them some). Would this be from the cold? We haven't had too many warm days (other than today was in the 70s). |

Did you forget to water them? Since you failed to say where you are on the planet and didn't say how cold it got, how are we supposed to know if they froze or not? Mceezee wrote in message ...

Tomato plants wilting
The smaller the container, the more quickly a plant will dry out. With
six-packs, that could mean as little as an hour. Since you've cut the tops off, go buy new ones. The minute you get home, put them in the shade until ready to plant, which should be 20 minutes later. Put the six pack in a shallow dish with a little water, in case Aunt Nellie comes over for tea without realizing that only a complete asshole visits a gardener at this time of year without calling first. Or bringing their own outdoor chair. "Mceezee" wrote in message ... I had a six pack of small tomato plants I was going to put in the ground this weekend.
