plants in distress

can you tell when a plant needs help fast ?
here is a picture of 3 plants, one has bird damage (not much to do at the moment)
but the other 2 have wilted leaves,

if they don't get water soon the plant may either stop growing or start dropping leaves,
and it may take more than a year to recover from that, and in an annual plant that means never.

here is what a squash hill looked like right next to it that had noting going on bad.

get use to what the plants look like when they are doing well,
and what they look like when stressed,
it is critical to success

now time for more laundry
