Cool. Thanks for any information you can provide.
The things were looking freaking awesome just two days ago. Now they are wilted at the top. The top third of each plant (an early producing variety) is completely flopped over and wilted. No discoloration or cankers. The soil is plenty damp. I've been running a soaker hose for an hour a day in the morning, and we have also had a fair amount of rain lately. There's no way the soil is too dry, so I figured I was over watering.
Soil here is mostly clay, and I added a bunch of bags of "topsoil" I bought to mix in with the clay. The topsoil had a bit of green slime growing on it just under the plastic bag, but otherwise looked fine. It wasn't advertised as being sterile.
I bought potted plants, and they were pretty root bound when I planted them. I think that's the word. The roots had reached the inside of the pot and were all grown around a lot in a tight circle.
I was all psyched this year because my problem usually is that I never water enough, and I got this timer to control a soaker hose.
