2017 Grafting thread: Open to all

b54red · March 22, 2018

Boy did I mess up day before yesterday. It had been two days since I grafted two flats of tomatoes with a total of nearly 50 plants. I went out in the greenhouse and took the lids off to let in some fresh air and got a phone call and walked out and forgot them til nearly noon yesterday. With the humidity around 30% guess what I had when I went in the greenhouse yesterday. Two flats full of totally wilted plants. I immediately misted them and put the lids back on and crossed my fingers. By late afternoon today a few of them are standing up some, so maybe it won't be a total massacre like I thought it would be. If it weren't for me doing stupid things like that I would probably be a pretty good tomato grafter. I certainly will be bringing down my success rate this year with that bonehead move.
