A progress report from the hottest day of the year.
Feeling hot hot hot!
It’s scorching hot here in Norwich and my spinach is thriving! My lettuce and herbs have almost doubled in size since planting. However, with the departure of the free watering service that is the British summer I think I’m going to have to be more mindful of the watering required for my pots. I have resolved to use the “give it a kick” method of determining dryness: if, upon kicking, the pot seems light then the pot needs some water.
In flea beetle news, the problem seems to be abating. The new leaves that have grown seem to have little or no damage and upon tousling the leaves no critters are jumping out. Perhaps they drowned in the downpours we have been experiencing of late.
In other news I am now on twitter (@GreenSideUpEle), so if you fancy sharing your pot growing experiences you are more than welcome to get in touch. Hopefully you too are enjoying the sunshine, Ele
