Dealing with the Weather


Well, we have been growing our plants against the desire of the weather. Although it was cool and rainy throughout all of May, June came with 100 degree weather and blazing sunlight. Though our plants need sunlight, this means we have to constantly monitor the plants as they grow. Unfortunately, you can't do this while on trips. We had planned a two-week trip over the summer, and we had to do something with the plants. We figured out a system where the irrigation where we put showers on the ends of posts and put the plants all around the showers. We got most plants watered and healthy through the two week period, but half of my thyme got burnt to a crisp. Hopefully this weather will get better soon.
