I think I have a solution to why some blow off and why others don't, but
then again maybe I am full of bologna. I had a plant blow off and now come
to realize it was being shaded by another plant. It grew up to get to the
sun. Maybe inadequate plant spacing is the problem and then again maybe it
is just dumb luck.
