Default Splat!!

Was moving a plastic container with 24 tomato plants at lunch out of the greenhouse. The whole side cracked apart and most of the plants fell out and ended up on my concrete stoop. Yikes!

This container included all of my dwarf project tomatoes! Fortunately, while several of them ended upside down and had to be shoved back into their pots, none of the dwarf plants appears to be too badly damaged.

I did lose one of my Aunt Ruby's German Greens, but I still have two, which is fine. The big loss was my two Rebecca Sabastian's bull bags. Both of them were severely bent right below the cotyledons.

I pulled out half of the soil and repotted them so that the bend is just under the soil line. My hope is that at least one of them will stay alive long enough to form new roots.

I was really looking forward to this tomato, Darn it!
