I’ve cut out the tiger bloom this week, still adding a touch of molasses and Epsom salts to keep the girls happy. It’s been a rough ending this year, after the insane heatwave we had several days of downpours and intermittent high winds. Rain I can deal with to a greater extent but the winds kicked my ass. One of my long suffering ladies got knocked over late one night and we lost a bit of flowery goodness I’m sad to say
Figure we’ll start to harvest this weekend, fingers crossed
It’s been a real scorcher the last few days along with an alert for elevated UV levels . My big rainbow girl had burns all over her east facing side w/a pattern that tracks with the sun passing overhead from 11ish to half passed 12 lots of crispy bronze leaves left behind. Thing is that I’ll need to order a canopy to cover her since she’s much taller than our patio umbrellas.
Hopefully it’ll cool down over the next few days.
