Vine+Crops

Hey Vine Crops You are doing such a great job! We have tomatoes, peppers, peas, nasturtium, and squash in vine crop system 1 and eggplant and squash in vine crop system 2. Please help to make sure that the plants do not get pests!! Some of the plants are babies, and I really want to have a nice crop of fruits this winter. Don't forget to check the EC (it looks like pS on the meter) as well as pH, and to record it. You can either write it down in the book for the system, or type it into the computer log. Here is the link: greenhouse log I let you guys do this, not me, so if you forget to type it in, then we don't have data :( After you have finished with water testing you have some choices available to you:

Thanks for all your help!!
 * scrub the buckets with sponges
 * lightly touch all the plants (that you can reach) to make sure we don't have aphids or spider mites
 * ask for a ladder if you think you need to go higher
 * spray a little hydrogen peroxide on the base of the plants. You can get this from the VIG or Ebb and Flow buckets.
 * scrub the outside of the water reservoirs
 * look through the seed catalogue and fill out an order form
 * check on the ladybugs and make sure they have plants in there with aphids
 * if you see any aphids, immediately get some ladybugs, and write it down in the EC/pH log book
 * spend some time looking through our books on greenhouse pests, so you can identify them
 * look to see if there are trays to scrub with a little hydrogen peroxide and a scrubby sponge
 * sweep under the vine crops (or anywhere:)
