Kelly's 2016 Apartment Patio Garden

[TexasTycoon]

Ordered a pH test kit which should be here Thursday, and I looked up optimum pH for all our plants.

I also noticed yesterday evening that one of the hollyhock transplants started developing a thicker fuzzy stem over the course of the day, so I think they're happy. Most of them looked perky, with maybe one or two wilting. The sage is adjusting to it's new leg room still. Everything is looking pretty good right now, with the exception of the sage and the tomato, and even they don't look bad just mildly stressed.

The bell pepper has a bud forming on it, which makes me nervous because that was the stage last year's bell pepper got to before we had a massive aphid infestation that killed it, the jalapeno (which grew back and is now thriving) and several of my flowers, so I'm being even more diligent to check under leaves and take pictures on my phone with the flash on to make them easier to spot. Really hoping for little to no aphid activity this year, I hate those guys.
