I took the largest of the tomato seedlings from the wall gutter and planted them in the growbed outside. Then it hailed and we had a spate of cold wet windy weather. The wet part isn’t an issue, but the cold and hail and wind . . . toast. <sigh> I lost half the seedlings I planted out and the last two look like they’re on their last leg. If we get a spate of warm weather they might pull through. If they don’t I’ll put the 4 tomato plants still growing in the gutter in their place . . . when they get significantly bigger AND the weather improves. I have sun shade cloth buffering them just a bit, but a big sheet of plastic would have been better.
I’m adding another growbed to my outside tank. I like the new setup so well I’m going to max out the grow potential of the fish tank. I have to inventory my bulkhead fittings. I need two uniseals the same size for connecting another 5 gallon tank to the existing 5 gallon dump tank. Adding another tank and bed will change the dump time from ~15 minutes to ~30 minutes.
I threw about a dozen lettuce seeds into the plant wall gutter. By they time they’re ready to transplant out I should have the new growbed up and running . . . and warmer weather. <fingers crossed>
