Windy

I had the same issue on some of my tomato plants, as well as having a few branches that were not supported enough that snapped. I cannot wait for these winds to stop. It does not help that my neighbors never trim their palm trees so I have lost a few plants to falling palm fronds.
ReplyDeleteAnd those outer greyish leaves/stems turned brown and drooped, slowly drying out, until I finally trimmed them all off. The stress of that wind damage really affected the overall growth and health of my plants.
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine what I would do if a frond fell on and destroyed one of my tomato plants. Some of them are in a danger zone, too. Good grief!
