They look gorgeous, strong, and healthy.

Thanks Marsha. Neptune's and a few others are contributing to their good color.

[PlainJane]

They look like they are enjoying themselves, lol!

Which Neptune's do you like?

[RIPGaryColeman]

@Marsha
I use both the Neptune's and the primordial solutions Sea Green, at about 30-40% of their recommended dose, with every watering. Right up to final transplant.

Every other watering they get mad farmer calmag too.

And if they've done all their chores and said their prayers and finished their homework satisfactorily, once a week they get diluted Haifa npk and/or Haifa MKP.

Those look interesting especially the Mad Farmer. Thanks for showing those to me. How long have you been using these, or are they experimental for this season?

The Mad Farmer is a recent addition, "sample" from the hydro store folks.

Pretty good bang for the buck.

I'm on year 3 of Sea Green and 2nd year for the Neptune's. They love it.

[Ginger2778]

I must give the Neptunes a try. It's very well thought of by most folks, but can be pricey, I think?

I am not a plant feeder but prefer to build my soils to feed. Growing organically is a long term endeavor, never quick results. That being said, for those that use synthetics, Megacrop might be an option. All in one, tank mixable and relatively cheap. 1000 gram samples can be obtained for shipping costs only. I realize Neptune is organic, but.......

[RIPGaryColeman]

[mention]bjbebs[/mention] thanks for the mega crop tip, looks like a great product. I do all my plants in subirrigated planters, so can't really build the soil. I have 2 citrus trees that are fed with the products above, Guinea pig gifts, and various organic meals,and that's about it soil wise.
For the price of one of those 10 kg mega crop bags, I've bought 25 kilos Haifa npk, about the same for Haifa Mkp, a 10 kilo bag of cal nitrate and another 5 kg bag of Epsom. Powders are cheap in my region.

So while initially being all Gung-ho on the organic front, I've found a happy medium between better living through chemistry and Organics.

@Marsha

It can be pricey, yes. If you go the foliar route it can be stretched. I can send you a sea green, that one is 1-2 ml per gallon, last quite a while. Great for foliar or drench.

Beautiful plant babies. No G., but thank you. Ill just get some. Shipping is stupid costly these days, but I love that you offered.

[MissS]

Your plants are gorgeous as usual.

Thank you! Weather cooperating, as are the bugs

[GoDawgs]

Everything looks so healthy. You must have a lot of space to plant all that.

Thanks! I have 48 slots at one spot, and about 20 at another. I plant the strongest ones, the rest are given away, usually with aliquots of fertilizer and bug defenses so they can actually see fruit.

An error in spelling on a variety from Spain.

Arenxabaleta mozcorra from here forward.

A real tight squeeze.
