Good friends and good weather.

The latest rounds of plants were not so good the 1724 Schmit and others planted at the same time ran out of nutrients quickly. Still viable though and will hopefully see dirt tomorrow. The next rounds—opposite problem—I burned with calcium nitrate. This stuff is not to be confused with a timed release fertilizer... looking back... as the roots hit it the leaves burned. Credit goes to Mike for sharing his wisdom about this!

I wonder if ammonium sulfate would have been a better choice although I don’t need the ph any lower.
