I am having the same problem again at the farm patch. I have lost 5 plants so far. Last of the backups are in. I finally know what is going on there. It is the water! If I plant the plants without watering they are fine then in a few days when we water they get dug up. Raccoons are digging them up to get to worms. I even put my hoops over them and they tore open the screens on the hoops and dug under them to get in. It is raining now so we should be home free.(I hope) :)
The fall plants 1385 and 1161 plants here are the best so far but are in the better spots.The 1279 Barlow has a split main but should be ok. 1209 Kuhn is growing fine and should be down in a couple days. 1428 Revier and 1457 Paton are down and running.
Joes plants at his place are doing fine and my 1003 there is doing fine but well behind the other plants.
I planted my tall corn and long beans today.
