Wow, Christmas comes early there in Oxford County, huh? Those autos or you still doing depo?
Don't know about your neck of the woods but over here in the midcoast we went right back into fog and rainshowers yesterday and last night. Sun out a little bit this afternoon but supposed to get gray again. Thinking with so little sunlight at this point in the season plants are going to be smaller all-around. That's fine, as long as we get some good late summer/September sun.

Decent size for mid-July. You must've started those back in March or early April? What part of OK you in? Seems like a great climate, curious about the native soil.

About a week and a half ago I moved my fabric pots under cover during any wet weather as the constant fog and rain was keeping them saturated and I was worried about root rot.
Looks like I may have been too late on on the Pine Tar--pot is still a bit heavy and I'm noticing some droopy leaves, especially today when it got hot and sunny. Classic root rot symptoms--she can't take up enough water to keep her leaves upright up when things get warm
I think the pots may have been wicking up moisture from the damp ground in addition to the rainfall. They were all pretty heavy when I finally moved them.
Since then I've had them off the ground and under cover whenever it rains. But the Pine Tar pot still feels a bit heavy, definitely not ready for watering. Was thinking I'd let her dry out fully before another watering.
Hoping she'll recover with time but we'll have to see. Thoughts? Anybody else deal with this in fabric pots? I had this issue with a plastic nursery pot sitting on wet soil once but didn't think it would happen with fabric pots.
Wish I had moved them up off the ground 2 weeks earlier. Lesson learned.

It was a volunteer that started in late March, sprang up in the area where I pollinated a cola last year. I liked the stem rub and it turned out to be a girl so here we are! The soil is clay here, but this garden area we have been amending and mulching for almost 20 years. This plant has only been top dressed once, no amendments were put in the soil around it as it was a volunteer. Take care of the soil and it will take care of your plants.
I'll bet the Pine Tar recovers just fine! The one plant that I drowned, in the ground, was much droopier than that! It was in soil that hadn't been worked much and then we got 8 inches of rain in 6 days.
