Plot update

Well, I ran out of photo space on my WordPress account so, I gotta figure that out. Just a quick update this time as we move out of April and into May!!

Critters have started to appear. I have an ant problem I’m hoping to solve before I plant the north plot. Sun age and borax slurry did not work.

The appearance of creatures

I’ve almost planted the whole south plot, and started staging the north plot. Peas are coming up, carrots are barely sprouting, spinach is starting to look like spinach, and one each of my kale and Swiss chard plants have survived past the seedling phase.

Portable greenhouse!

Since many seedling struggled being put into the ground, I’ve got a transitional plastic box on site that I’m using as a halfway house between indoors and outdoors and in ground. I’m letting the seedlings mature a bit more in the box. It helps with my lack of space for all of these guys in my grow rack, and they seem to thrive! Then I can plant them once they’re a little bigger.

Out of town plan

I ventured into the world of auto-watering this weekend and I haven’t quite cracked that nut yet. I’m going out of town Monday thru Friday and thought I’d give it a try. I don’t feel good about the system so I’m just going to overwater and cover and hope for the best.

That’s it. More next week when I inter my new ollas and commit to a plan in the north plot!
