Here are my diagnoses: 1. The roots of the plants came in direct contact with the fertilzer. 2. Transplant shock 3. Were roots tangled? Maybe the plants cannot "access" the water. RX= B1 application. 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. If 3. take plants out of ground and remove the soil from around roots and replant. Pronosis= Positive Clyde Crockett z5 ccredux@aol.com Indy IN
