Vacation checklist Part II
So how did my plants do after a week of neglect? The good news is most of the plants survived but some of them didn't do too well.
As expected, the Calibrachoa didn't do too well (Drip-It pro at the back... more on that later). It looks pathetic.
So is the Lobelia:
I just need to repeat this again... Drip-It Pro Watering System does NOT work! DO NOT BUY IT! After a week, the water level is still the same. I've given it a second chance and that's it, they are going into the trash.
The good news is my Earthboxes did a really good job of keeping my vegetables alive. Although I think the water reservoir was close to empty when I got back. Not only did my vegetable plants survived but I got some harvest too:
Plants that had the watering crystals did fantastic and they were nice and healthy. Once again my DIY watering system did a great job of keeping the Mandevilla, Fairy rose, and herbs box alive. Look at the Mandevilla... it's climbing higher than my modified trellis.
