Don't know about Carla's experience; but what I've heard is that direct-seeded crops usually develop deeper root systems than transplants, and so may be more drought-resistant, because they can get at water that's deeper in the ground. Carla, were your transplants irrigated? If so, that might not have been the problem. -- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 5 mostly Fresh-market organic produce, small scale On Oct 11, 2011, at 2:30 PM, KAKerby AT aol.com wrote:
