Well, my Adelle pot mums are holding steady. Some have died, some have pulled through, and with frequent watering and some TLC the survivors should make it. Peter said that this batch of shoots was no good, and I've heard of other students whose crops have fared even worse!
Now that I've spaced out my pots and have started to check them twice per day, I hope to see some improvement.







The Vyron cut mums are doing very well. No signs of wilting or deficiency, and over half of the plants have grown taller than the crates they were planted in! I have certainly gained a valuable lesson in the selection of varieties: I need to avoid the frailer crops and stick to the stuff that can survive my inexperience!
