The victim of my "more-on" affection. Ok, so maybe no more nitrogen... lol. Potassium never reads very high on these DIY tests but I think the low reading is accurate. Photo does seems to show a potassium issue with the leaf edges being particularly yellow. I suspect low boron and copper, and maybe low sulfer, also. Poor thing. I am like a four year old with a hamster... sometimes things are just lucky to even survive.

I will say that the grocery bag handles are awesome and I have no fear of the bags ripping this year because I used five or six bags. (Five or six plastic ones... no matter how many paper ones you use the paper handles are no good as soon as the paper touches the soil the moisture weakens them down to nothing.)

So anyhow, the plastic handles worked well. Still a million things that could go wrong... but I will try to make a go of it with this plant...
