How Not to Grow a Tomato
I always manage to kill at least one plant every year. On Saturday, a tomato fell victim. For the record, I was trying to help my ‘Stupice’ tomato grow faster in our frigid spring. So I placed a cloche over it. Then we had a fabulous, hot, sunny, summery day. The kind of day where you don’t need a sweater at night. The kind of day where all you want to do is eat ice cream and drink lemonade. The kind of day that would be awesome for a tomato, unless you happen to be the one sweltering inside a cloche. I’m guessing it topped 100 degrees underneath the little glass dome. It also appears that the sun literally fried the plant’s leaves, since they are as crispy as a chip. Happily, other plants in my garden are thriving…
