Much better. The plants are really coming back to life now. I think the boost of soil and Miracle-gro did some good. The leafs look bigger on my best one and there appear to be more leaves trying to grow. And now?
We appear to have little starts of a vine. A little green vine has sprouted from a couple of the plants. Not sure what the vine will do, but it different from the stalk and leaves that have been growing. Maybe more signs of preparing to flower.
Still getting some leaves being torn. I think the bugs or mites are getting to them. Gotta get the insectiside on them. They look good otherwise.
The leader is still there and new leaves are growing on him. He just still looks weaker than the rest.
The group on the compost heap are just fine, still growing pretty well without any attention.
Ouch, we just had a big thunder storm push through here. The rain was pretty heavy, so the plants all got a drink... but then there was HAIL. This was not good. I had to watch my poor plants
get beat up by the ice cubes. I hope they will all be alright... it is too dark to see anything.
