STUPID MISTAKES I've already made this year: 1. LEAVES WEREN'T ALL TILLED IN AND DIDN'T COMPOSE ALL THE WAY. Nitrogen is being robbed. 2. WHITE PLASTIC FOR CLOCHES. Stupid mistake that has kept temperature too low in cloches and basically set me back a week. Bummer. At least I started early! 3. DIDN'T GET A GOOD ENOUGH TILL DONE IN FALL. And with the wet spring, premium sites had to be planted in before they were completely ready. 4. BURNED SOME LEAVES BY PUTTING TOO MUCH FISH FERTILIZER ON THEM. Nothing goes on the leaves for a while. 5. NO BUG CONTROL. Should have put down some Merit or at least sprayed seedlings with NEEM Oil. Weird white rim on leaves caused by ? spider mites? aphids? already. I get it every year.
