I left 15 of my healing grafted toms out in the wind as yesterdays warm front passed. They were potted up in 4" pots and directly facing 17 - 20 mph warm humid winds all day from the SE. I could have brought them in, I guess it was a morbid fascination to see if they could take it, besides I wanted them exposed to the warm humid air and scattered sunshine.
Anyway, they all came thru, except for one. It is wilting real bad today. The graft looks just fine, and as far as I can tell it hasn't moved. I've kept it out of today's sun, but it is still wilting. I hope it makes it.
All of the ones that were OK were unstaked. They were laying flat in the wind. The one that is wilting today was actually staked in its pot. go figure.
Do you think I'm too hard on my plants?
