5/24

Today we sprinkled coffee grains over absolutely everything on our berm (not including weeds of course). The lettuce leaves are coming up more, and very evenly. The cucumbers are growing new leaves on the same stalks. Tomatoes started flowering, but unfortunately had some yellowing leaves. There were also a few small green winged bugs found on the tomatoes. The peppers have leaves that are losing color at the tips. The marjoram is strong, so it will be harvested in the near future. The watermelon's leaves grew slightly larger. The carrots are much taller. The chives have some parts yellowing, but it is rather large so it is to be harvested along with the marjoram. We also planted strawberries today and they already had tiny fruits growing on them. We also found 1 skinny little bee today so there is hope. The ambient temperature today was 28 degrees centigrade. And the soil temperature was 36 degrees centigrade. The soil's moisture was at a fairly high 17.4%. For the fertilizer experiment we were doing between the two peppers we have growing, I have set up a table below.
Used Unused
height 3in 2in
number of leaves 6 8
