The plants are looking helathy but small due to the cool weather. It was only 66 for a high today.
I started a batch of compost tea tonight. Hopefully the patch will have dried out some when it is ready. I don't want to keep the soil too wet and stimulate the soil diseases this early. I am using a 5 gallon bucket, aquarium bubbler, moleasses, worm castings and a little Bio-tone starter plus. The Boi-tone is supposed to have beneficial bacteria and fungi so I will see if it helps the tea.
I also gave the plants a dusting of permethrin for the bugs this evening. I will have Jacob sprinkle on some garlic powder tomorrow. He is out of school now so he will have more patch time, along with getting in shape for cross country and wrestling.
