I brewed the first round of compost tea this past weekend. The garden vegetables and flowers benefitted greatly from it. The onions are maturing, it was time to fold them over before final harvest.

The vine is starting out well. Flagging a little in the daytime sun - I will be deploying 40% shade cloth soon. Luckily this week is "cooler" in the mid 80s and rainy at times, making the starting transition very pleasant. Next week I saw highs 95+ so we'll see how it goes. Arkansas growing at it's finest - lots of swings this year. Praying for no wind!

I plant to foliar feed the Max Sea at a rate of 800ppm every 5 days once the vine puts off a few more leaves. Soon it will be time for the light first round of insect + fungal systemics as well.
