Well, the good news of the day, I checked the ph now that its had a day to stabilize. Both were at 5.5 which is right where I'd hoped it would be. Whew, a good guesstimate about how much to use has paid off.
I did move one of the cucumbers from #1 over into #2 as on #1 it was starting to inter-twine with another cucumber that was right above it. This was they can both just keep growing with that being a problem. Once the vines fruits get bigger the little trellises that I put in aren't going to be able to hold them as it wants to pull the grow basket a little out of the hole, meaning it will not get as much water trickling onto its roots. Next time I'll be sure not to have them above one another. Lesson learned.
I do have a baby bell pepper plant that has a tiny little pepper on it.
Cukes and tomatoes are now blooming like crazy. I do what I can to be sure things are getting pollinated.
Some of #2 lettuces will get moved out to #1 as the plants in #1 finish their life cycles. It's nice I can get seeds started in #2 so there won't be big lull in the harvesting of #1. Kind of a rotational planting sort of concept.
