...Cont’d.

It’s hard to tell if my soil fertility is right when I till on the same day I’m transplanting & the weather gets cool. First, the nitrogen gets locked up as everything breaks down and by the cool weather too, and the calcium and magnesium both seem to be getting locked up by the cool weather. The only thing I’m good on is potassium. I think I’m good on everything but it’s temporarily locked up. I would like to give them a temporary boost.

...But I might do more harm than good.

Rosalie’s 504 House is the most vexing plant it’s growing but it does not look great. (First male flower today, first female tomorrow.). But healthwise, it’s been struggling it must have a root issue because I’ve tried everything. Usually they will respond to something. ...Unless it’s a root issue.

All the other plants are progressing well enough... the 1724 Schmits are the slowest I think they are homesick for Markesan. The 1639.5 Sherwood’s look the best healthwise, followed by the giant amongst my little plants: the 1297 Holland.
