Winter took hold today when overnight lows hovered around 40 degrees F. and days rarely saw 60 degrees for a sustained period following a classic winter storm that gave us 2+ inches of rain. This was preceded by several days of severe Kona winds that messed up the grounds real good and made harvesting and tours difficult. For the month total, 4.7 inches of rain fell, seemingly confirming the end of a 3 -year drought cycle. For the remainder of the month conditions remained cold…and, most significantly, cloudy.
PESTS/DISEASE
Organacide (fish emulsion and sesame oil) has successfully been used to control greenhouse pests.
OTHER CHALLENGES
The wattle both on and off the property on top is significantly shading out garden space this time of year- and more severely each season. Particularly affected are the G spot and the top greenhouse (strawberries) which remains shady and cool most of the day.
