wilted leaves

duajones · May 4, 2008

Suze, although the soil was still moist and the plants shouldnt have needed water, they did respond to a light watering so I am thinking RKN. I may just need to give them a little water every day to keep up with them. I would still like to harvest as much from the plants as possible. Once I have, I will pull the weakest looking plant and inspect for RKN. Soil is clay amended the same way as last year with cotton burr compost, a blend of alfalfa and humate and some cow manure. Nothing but wilt at this point other than the BER and the one rotted fruit. I hope to at least keep the CP alive as it has 28 fruit as of this morning. Once this bed is done, I want to try solarizing the soil as I dont have a whole lot of options as far as space.

Edit to add. I grew cereal rye in this bed late fall if I hadnt already mentioned that
