I went away for a few days and left no one at home; it was very hot and a few of my seedlings just didn’t make it without water. These were the Brussels sprouts and some of the broccoli seedlings I planted. The rest is busy recovering after watering them.
The granadilla tree is starting to grow quite fast and I placed a tripod over it since I don’t have a trellis on which it can grow up against.
This past week and last week, it has been raining for a few days this side of the equator. This means I could not go out in the garden. Yesterday the rain let up a bit and I went to check how everything doing, the pea plants are down and some of the broccoli have yellowing leaves at the bottom. I read that this might be caused by the bottom 2 seedlings needing to die off so that the plant grows or by over watering. The beetroot seedlings are only a few left that is still standing. I think I will need to plant more cauliflower and Broccoli if I want to harvest more. I am just not sure if it is too late now to plant them now .
