I purchased 2 plants about 2 weeks ago from the Farmers Market.
One plant is an heirloom tomato and the other is cat grass.
Heirloom Tomato
I've noticed an increase in some of the leaves turning brown.
Is this normal?
It also has got a lot more new leaves come out just fine though.
I definitely will not use pesticides on this plant though.
I've checked it and I haven't seen any bugs on it.
Is it possible it's getting too much sunlight or is this just a normal process?
Also how much water should this plant be getting daily?
*Note* It's in one of those Topsy Turvey bags so it has a lot of soil in the bag. This is another reason i'm unsure of how much water to give it. Initially it says for the first watering to give it a full gallon. I'm guessing that's just so the soil will all get damp. I've been giving it a half gallon since.
Cat Grass
The cat grass was doing just fine until a few days ago.
Someone over watered it and left it in a bowl so it couldn't drain. I noticed it the next day and the water in the bowl smelled terrible.
I emptied the water and shook it out, then put it in the sun outside to soak up the excess moisture.
It was out there for two days. I checked on it today and half of it's shoots are brown. I looked though the grass and noticed it had mold on it. I plucked those pieces out that I did see.
Was it getting too much sun or was the over watering and mold what's killing it?
Is it salvageable?
