LanTerra Update > in the ground today with the 1,778 Daletas Plant this afternoon. Was later than I had planned but there was a lot more work getting the patch done than I had anticipated.
Did battle with my irrigation well this afternoon took a couple of hours to get a good prime on the pump. Great thing is the water supply is entirely endless and free! The pH is 7.4 not so bad, as I thought it would be over 8...
Treated my soil to a broadcast of RTI and Mykes and over-seeded the surface with an annual grass. Fed it all a coated slow release fert and washed it down with a pH adjusted brew at 5.5 with Molasses and several other micros including Ca, Mg, Mn, TKO, Neptunes Seaweed and a hearty supply of worm castings.
The 10' x 12' hoop house has an oscillating heater set at 22*C with a remote temperature sensor.
This is early for Ontario but would have preferred a week earlier. The weather has be enormously good for a week now. Hard to believe after such a poor spring start we went right to summer. Every thing is now in wide open bud as the season roars back up to a normal or slightly ahead of normal pace.
