Good morning gardeners. I got a self waterer put in for the Jasmine yesterday. If I like how it works I’m going to make another for the night blooming Jessamine. I don’t think I water those enough in summer so hopefully this will help. I’m going to try fertigation with those and gradually add nutrients to the water. Hubs got me this terra cotta pot that you fill with water and tie plants to the outside. Eventually the roots will grow along the surface as the plants grow. I got a fern and something else to put on it so will post a pic when I get it done. All of the houseplants were getting too much light so hubs is going to build me a taller stand I can move them to. The low one will be great for growing lettuce and other greens. I like my Aerogardens and will use them also, but even the big one can only grow a couple of heads of lettuce in the long run. I want to grow spinach and it’s also a good place to get tomatoes and other stuff from the sprout stage to the transplant stage. This week I’ll be starting tomatoes in the Aerogarden so we can try the Kratky method for those. I got notification that the shade cloth has shipped. I’m happy it will be here before it gets hot! I was able to custom order it as one piece for the top which will be nice. The B is broody and she is MEAN! I heard a commotion in the yard and she was out there charging around. SMH. Sadly all four of the chicks I ordered died. One left the nest the first night and died from the cold. The other three were dead this morning. I gave them nutridrench and spent a good part of the day trying to get them to eat yesterday, but it didn’t go well and I didn’t have high hopes this morning. The Universe has decided it wasn’t meant to be. Since the B is broody I took all but the three blue eggs she was sitting on, she can have those. Anyway, I need to get busy with chores, I’ve been binge watching Netflix since I found the chicks. Have a good day all!
