So everything has been getting bigger, and looking more healthy than they did last week. Along with weeding the beds I also added BT and Neem to the plants to keep the bugs away! Some of the leaves have been getting quite a lot of chewing, stupid bugs. Some of the plants are also starting to see flowers like the eggplants. I also added fertilizer to some of the plants that were not looking to great like the peppers and tomatoes. Besides that I also planted 6 heads of lettuce today! I hope they all survive and do well! I also plowed one of the beds next store that no one was using and planted a couple of squash and zucchini. Also the Peas I planted last week were all just starting to break through the soil today were looking good!!! (I forgot to take a picture though) In class we talked about soil and what plants need. The essential ingredients plants need are split up into 3 groups environmental, macro nutrients, and micro nutrients. All three are just as important to the plants life, but the plant needs more of some than others. I believe some of my plants especially the tomatoes may have a nitrogen deficiency since the bottom leaves are sort of yellow. Below are pictures of the lettuce I planted, one of my eggplants and a zucchini plant.
