The weather gods seem to be smiling on meâitâs only really cold at night. I remember reading that anything below 12 degrees is critical, and weâve already had quite a few nights below that. In fact, itâs even dropped as low as 5 degrees.
But itâs supposed to get really warm again over the next few days, with temperatures above 25 degrees during the day and around 15 at night, which puts my mind at ease a bit.
Otherwise, Iâm really happy, and Iâve given the rose one last dose of P/K for the finish. Itâs gaining mass every day now, and the sugar content is increasing. What Iâd really like to see nowâand what Iâd been hoping for because of the low nighttime temperaturesâis for some color to come into play. But itâll still have a little while to go, so maybe itâll turn colorful yet.
Unfortunately, my sense of smell is kind of shot from years of hay fever allergies. My parents and my brother say the whole garden smells wonderful, and I can only catch a whiff when Iâm standing right next to it. :(
Well, in any case, I think its scentâas the name suggestsâis very floral and flowery, which I really like. Letâs see where this scent journey takes us next.
Iâm targeting the first or second week of October as a rough harvest window, but as always, patience will pay off in the end.
STOP THE EARLY HARVEST! đđšđ
