Too early for wilt?
Hello all. Several weeks ago I planted one seed in my patch, in a mound under
glass. It germinated promptly and has looked good... until yesterday. It had grown
quickly and had progressed until it had 3 true leaves. I had been propping the glass
up during the day and it was removed completely on Sat. I then covered it with an
old wire gate to keep the pesky critters out. Checked daily, it looked fine until
last night. It looks as if it was severely frostbitten - completely wilted.
Temperature has been fine and it doesn't seem too wet or too dry. By this evening it
shows no sign of recovering. It's been a little rainy so I have only set out one
other plant and it looks fine - I set it out on Sat. and have the glass elevated
above it. I have 2 more plants to set out and I'm not sure what I need to do. Any
suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks. Jetta in Virginia
