Re: WILT

Bob,
 I've been having the same trouble. I think what happened to mine is weather related. It was very cloudy up untill last week and I think the sun sort of shocked them. You see they were also in hoop houses till then also. I tried a couple different things.I tried letting them uncovered most of the day but when the sun was brightest I shaded them a bit, I also sprayed them with water when they looked really wilted, not sure which helped but by yesterday they seemed to be toughening up. I have some burn spots on some of the leaves, not sure whether is was fertilizer or what but it doesn't seem to be a problem now. Some may suggest misting but I didn't have the time to construct that so I just sprinkled them. Also the younger plants seemed to wilt more than the older plants. Anyway, hope this helps
Amy
