Well, the bloodmeal didn't do much, but I used fish fertilizer on my tomatoes, beans and peppers. The beans doubled in size practically overnight, the peppers have a lot of new growth, are darker green, and even put out a few flowers. The tomatoes ripened, but otherwise didn't see anything exciting with them.
I decided based on that to try fish fertilizer on the squash, and one of them has also doubled in size. The other two again seemed largely unimpressed by the fertilizer, but it's likely they're not doing well because my daughter enjoys watering them. A lot.
I also set up a new set of plants in my grow tent to tinker around with since it has been empty since I put everything outside in the spring.
From the left we have 3 onion starts, a melon start, the large one is a lettuce, a pepper, a tomato, a zuke, and a butternut squash. No, I probably don't have enough room to grow these all through the winter but even if I have to compost one early I think I'll learn a lot from tinkering with fertilizer and moisture requirements before my chance with the big garden comes around again.
This cart is a new addition to my grow tent. My husband used it at work and didn't need it anymore, so I "carted" it off, haha!
It has only been 3 days and this onion is already popping out!
The melon too. All the plant life you see surrounding the seed is duckweed. I water from my shrimp tank and there's duckweed on the surface, so duckweed ends up in the pots too.
Lastly, the lettuce is up also.
I didn't expect to see anything that soon.
