Early June Garden Update 2019

I am very grateful for the abundance of rains we have been blessed with this grow season.

My locale, I always say, is in this little invisible protected "bubble" of climate where we seem to get enough rain but because of the local hills, ridge-lines and valleys, we manage to miss all the destructive winds as they seem to move around the highlands.. as any orographic feature would do to the ocean of the atmosphere.

And planting everything on a slight slope helps to prevent flooding from the incessant rains.

But we have been very lucky thus far and if the pattern continues, we should see an abundance of success come harvest time.

Some of the plants I noticed looked to be struggling with nutrients as they develop fruit and compete with their neighbor and thus I went around and gave a light fish fertilizer with a pinch of epsom salt to all the poolside and container plants.

I realize, after observing the absence of growth from seedlings in the greenhouse in re-used soil, how important it is to properly reinvigorate the used soil with the right nutrients to allow good growth again. Otherwise.. plants will struggle to grow.

All made possible by the abundant rains we receive from Mother Nature on a near daily frequency. Hopefully, the intensity of the storms that come this Summer are of lesser intensity however.. we don't need a tornado.

And I really don't like the animal thieves that have stolen all the unprotected goods.

All the rain certainly helps to keep these swimmers alive with all the fresh water, because they currently need it. I would save them from certain death if the water got too low, they just need some fresh water to dilute their own wastes.

I thank the Heavenly Father for the successful grow season thus far. And I pray everyone else is having as much success as we are here.

Our little flesh plant is also growing very well. Best plant on the land, by far..

Take care y'all.
