Batch#01 - 30 Dec - Day 21

Let's Grow!

Just can't stop admiring the greens! The rate at which these lettuces grow is simply astounding! In the space of like 12 hours is easily 10mm (or 1cm) in length. In particular, the Grand Rapids, these are just shooting up by 15 - 20mm in just half a day!

GR harvest time tomorrow! For New Year's eve dinner with Korean Bulgogi! 


And to think that we actually harvested some (8 leaves) of the GR for brekkie today!


The sequences from top to bottom once again.

Cos/Romaine:



Observed a few burn tip for the CR. And as pointed out in this article, it showed up on the young crown leaves.

Grand Rapids
As fr the GR, there is hardly any further burn tip seen other than the first few observed in the earlier stages.


Red Oaks


Butterheads

As for the Lollas, browning along the leave stems are accelerating.  Red Oaks looks OK though. So it's likely the water is not healthy in some ways, though EC shows 1040. Didn't manage to measure pH.  8Mar update: A fellow UF member shared this site on leafy plant issues. Dengarden . Looks like Yellows.  About Yellows Yellows is a fungal disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum con-glutinans, and triggers formation of large, dull yellowish green patches on the leaves of vegetables. The harmful microorganism survives in warm conditions, which means that you can prevent it by keeping your garden at lower temperatures. The disease can be spread by farm tools, so ensure you clean and disinfect your tools before using them in your ga...

18 Jan Bok Choi Harvest #4

And yes... after just 15 days, the BC are ready harvest again. Round 4! Sturdy green leaves. Rrally happy with the deep green look and feel of the BC. Harvested 2 large bowls from 12 plants from both tiers. There is very little wastage, just a small handful of yellowing leaves. And yes, into the wok they go for a big plate of BC stir fry with fish cakes, the family favourite. The before and after harvest look. And after... The bottom tier is showing good growth of White Crown Bok Choi. These are the slimmer and greener stem cousin of the BC. Growth is pretty fast too. Seeded on 31 Dec. EC kept to 1200. Looking forward a new batch of green for the LNY!
