So, I bought some organic heirloom tomato plants from Costco. Already I can tell a difference between these and the one I raised from a small seedling (which is about the same size). These have thick THICK leaves, that are somewhat droopy and curling inward, and they *feel* dry. I've watered them twice now, on Saturday night and this morning.
What gives? A lot of the blossoms also fell off after transplanting. I'm thinking they still are in transplant shock? I planted them Saturday evening, in 5 gallon containers. I did stake them but I was pretty careful not to hit the root ball. They are in organic planting compost, not awesome soil but not horrible either.
Did I just get a bad batch of plants? I am so tempted to buy some more just so I can make sure to have tomatoes this year! I will be beyond bummed if these plants don't produce and I don't find out until months from now. Halp!

I did not read about any treatments when I googled it. I didn't want to risk it spreading.
