I need to create a simple log of what I do in my garden. Weather information is taken from Farmer's Almanac For the Pratt Industrial Air KS USA Weather Station,
- 7-8-20 Hooked up the drip system and watered. TEMP: 96/71, winds 17/23
- 7-7-20 consulted Pratt county extension office about watermelons - have twospotted spider mites. sprayed them plants down with water to remove the mites. Also sprayed the other plants. Bought some neem oil, but the youtubes say to use cold concentrate and mine is an extract, so I didn't use it much. Purchased a pump sprayer but could not get it to work.
- Rainfall: #3 .41; #13 .86; #18 .56
- 7-6-20 lost another tomato to BER, from tote #7, my transplant. Store-bought meter tested the soil ph to be about 7.1. Nutrients very low. Applied Expert Gardener Organics 3-5-6 to the tomatoes in tote #7, tomatoes are doing poorly. One is my own transplant and the other is the WalMart transplant. Applied Epsom salt to the soil in the watermelon/cantaloupe tote to increase magnesium, thought the yellowing was from magnesium shortage.
- temp 86/76, winds 10/16, rain 0.00
- 7-5-20 temp 91/84, rain 0.00
- 7-4-20 finished my raised bed for the SW wall, and filled it with all the dirt I have left -- a layer of soil, layer of plant debris, layer of leaves, soaked down, layer of rest of soil. And I'm adding more plant debris as I go along.
- temp 90.9/68.2, rain 0.02, wind 5.98/10.2
- 7-3-20 Rainfall: #13.09; #18 .83
