Hey Vine Crops
You are doing such a great job! I know it's a little boring right now, while we are waiting for the cucumbers to get big, but it's worth the wait!
Don't forget to check the EC (the blue wand) as well as pH (the drops),
and write it on the log
After you have finished with water testing you have some choices available to you:
scrub the buckets
lightly touch all the plants (that you can reach) to make sure we don't have aphids
ask for a ladder if you think you need to go higher
ask if you can harvest (this will be a while until the peas get bigger)
scrub the outside of the water reservoirs
look through the seed catalogue and fill out an order form
check on the ladybugs and make sure they have plants in there with aphids
if you see any aphids, immediately get some ladybugs, and write it down in the EC/pH log book
spend some time looking through our books on greenhouse pests, so you can identify them
look to see if there are trays to scrub with a little hydrogen peroxide and a scrubby sponge
sweep under the vine crops (or anywhere:)
Thanks for all your help!!
The peas look like they need help!
Let's do some research
