Plants got fairly beat up yesterday in the winds. Lots of tattered leaves. Just a pain to deal with when you have some nice plants. Hopefully that wind will start calming down as the season goes on.
They showed that near freezing forecast for today's today weather, but the low of around 35 degrees is actually for tomorrow morning. I'm going to run the sprinklers starting at about 4:30am and probably run them until at least 7:00 to help protect the leaves. A couple of weeks ago I tested the water temp and it was 58 degrees, so hopefully that will be enough to protect the plants.
This morning I gave the plants some compost tea with RAW enzymes in it, an foliar application of multi-mineral and a small touch of granular ammonium sulfate.
