The sun is not just my enemy but also our seedlings. The soil is getting rather dry but only the very top layer. Luckily Craig’s family have a water tank so we can water fairly regularly. Unfortunately the water tank is not positioned in such a way to facilitate watering the patch. As you can see from the photographs it is some distance away and the tank is not raised meaning the water has no natural pressure to force it out the hose. We managed to get a trickle but it took a while to get the ground good and moist. The backup seedlings which were planted in the “industrial absorbent” are doing quite well. They live a much more comfortable life style on the window sill so the thought is that they have grown faster because their environment was less stressful.
So we have had some growth but not where we want it. Next post I hope to bring news of success outside.
