    Finally got a pH pen I actually trust. Hanna Instruments tester. Mid-grade tester, between the cheapy and the Blue Lab. 8.0pH tap water. Yikes. Oops. Switching to distilled.

    GenHyd liquid PH test. Crap. Liquid test indicated around 5.0pH out of a freshly open distilled jug. pH pen is on at 7. Been basing a lot off the test drops.

    Any product made by "Luster Leaf". CRAP.....Digi soil pH meter....Analog 4/1 meter...here ya go trash can, here is $10.

    Weather here is crazy cool and wet this summer. Cukes are about played out but did pretty well. Cleaned it up and might get a few more. Green peppers are really nice. Almost the size of Store bought and beautiful taste. Arkansas traveler maters planted in May are finally coming on :notsure:. Planted some spinach and chard seeds today for a fall harvest hopefully.

    Those bell peppers do look nice! We have a couple broccoli heads forming about the size of a 50ct piece right now. And we have a couple cauliflower heads forming one is just about the size of a top of coffee mug but looks good, the other is smaller than that. I was surprised they even got that big.

    They're supposed to be "deer resistant"
    If they're hungry they'll eat it

    Lantana comes in perennial and annual varieties. Butterflies love it. And most important for me, low maintenance and idiot proof in our hot climate.
