Garden update
Don't Panic it's organic!
The other day I ordered some products from https://buildasoil.com . The garden really could use some nitrogen and overall plant food. I have great success using the Thrive.N, a sustainable fish amino acid that is a 15-1-1 and the Nutrient pack, an all purpose dry general fertilizer, that is meant for soil applications.
Thrive.N
“Thrive.N is a high Nitrogen, fish based fertilizer that promotes vigorous growth, optimum health and higher yields. Being 100% water soluble and rich in amino acids, Thrive.N allows plants to absorb nutrients efficiently and immediately. Whether you're a commercial hydroponic grower, run a small organic farm or a weekend gardener, Thrive.N is the perfect organic solution for all growing applications.
79.28% Amino Acids; 59.56% in Protein Form and 19.73% in Free Form. The best of both worlds. Free Form Amino Acids allow plants to absorb nutrients immediately whereas Protein Form offers a longer release. Give your plants both a quick boost and a steady uptake.”

Because I was hand watering the containers today I discovered aphids on the clover in area! Argh!!! Oh well. I do not intend on treating with soaps… quite yet. I want to finish up the IMO collection box which I will pull tomorrow before the 90° day on Monday. Even then I will try to use Diatomaceous Earth first by dusting it on the bottom sides of the leaves. By doing so the D.E. should be abrasive enough to kill the aphids.
I was intending on thinning out the #kale, #broccoli, #peppers, and #tomatoes out here and transplanting the extras into the containers but I want to dose them with Nitrogen and feed them first especially waiting until the random 90° passes as we will have a 20° shift over the next 7 days. A less hot and dry day will be more Ideal.
10 day outlook
A hungry tomato plant in front of a Sprouting pea legume with many viney tentacles!
The Kale seems to be thriving
The peppers overall are struggling and have bug damage. I'm used to them taking off in the summer than dying in the winter
Also it appears the day of reckoning has come for these chia microgreens! Tommorow I will consume a whole lot of them!
My wisdom tooth is killing me. Hard to focus and concentrate. I hope I can have the energy and motivation to transplant these starts and use the products from buildasoil on them after my surgery I need but don't really want to go through. Im scared as hell.😦😨😫
