What a difference two weeks can make, as you can see everyone of our girls are looking spectacular and the fun has just begun! (6 separate diaries) We have been sticking to a nice diet schedule and they are thriving already, it has not been difficult to keep the pots moist as of yet but we expect the upcoming heat will have us working at it twice a day. Another barrel of tea was prepared and thankfully the rain held off while it brewed, to this we added the microbes and we found that the Ph level was perfect as it sat at 6.4 so no adjustment was needed. Happiness could be seen by each of our plants after they enjoyed the treat and they stood tall and proud as they reached for the sky. Right now we are keeping a good moisture level in the pots by maintaining them with 20L of water minimum each day, our Ph levels have been ranging between 6 and 6.8 which seems to keep them flourishing. Pruning of inner branches and defoliation has added to their growth and they are very much enjoying the natural elements, branches of each plant have been topped thrice and they seem to become stronger bushes everyday. They have had a dusting of insect frass and it will soon be time for another top dressing of amendments, we have found the hay has made a big difference so far in keeping the top of the soil bed cool and damp. Our ladies have enjoyed a seaweed foilar spray along with a photosynthesis enhancer spray made by MBX and as of now the previous mentioned problematic bugs, have moved along. Our cover crop is working out wonderfully and we have only trimmed it once thus far but it will soon need another trim! We are enjoying our garden very much and it will only get better’
