Killing Tomatoes
Several weeks ago I plated four tomato plants in a raised bed garden, beside a perennial (chives) that has been in that raised bed since I constructed it four or five (I think) years ago.
Two of them have died, and I thought the other two would perish as well, but they have grown back and are beginning to thrive. I don't know what stressed them. Transplant shock? A pest? And why did the two closest to the chives (about three feet away away) perish for good, while the other two (each about five feet away) survived?
Hopefully we'll get a harvest this time, and the squirrels won't pilfer the fruit. But at least the purple chive blossoms are pretty and tasty.
