DD is growing rare tomatoes from seed. She has nursed these tenderly for weeks and weeks. There was a pot with 3 good plants in, ranging from 4ins to maybe 9ins which she had brought into the kitchen because they'd got too cold and nearly died. They were recovering a little, and it was a warm sunny day and I put them on the window sill so they got full sun and warmth. Then the cat wanted to be let out so I opened the window. There was a gentle breeze, not cold, so I left the window open with the plants directly in front of it in full sun, warm and lovely.
DH wandered in. It's his habit that he closes the window if he thinks it's cold. He left the window open. I assumed it was not cold, so I left the tomatoes there.
It was cold. The wind was very cold. The plants got cold. DD can barely look at me she is so upset! These are 3 rare breeds which she's grown from seed. Nursed and nurtured. Loved!
Is there anything which might help them recover for the second time, when they hadn't fully recovered the first time....?
