The soil was very moist.  One of the tomatoes that fell off that plant had tiny insect eggs in it.  EWW!

I questioned (wondered) what was causing this to happen.  Based on my observations, I believe that the plant is getting too much water.  I decided to test my theory.  I hypothesized that if I water the tomatoes every other day, instead of every day, then the health of the tomatoes would improve.  For the next 2 weeks I reduced the amount of water, but the tomato plant did not recover.  I observed that the tomato plant continued to turn yellow.  No tomatoes or flowers were being produced.  My hypothesis was proven  incorrect. I concluded that overwatering was not the main problem. Now it is time to test another theory.  ]]> 2018-07-15 18:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pdcartag/w2tpmcbotgc5/wish/270238616
