My plant still has some yellowing leaves on the newer leaves. My guess is either A) nutrient deficiency or B) cold soil inhibiting nutrient uptake.
In regards to A) a nutrient deficiency would not surprise me. I didn't do a soil test and just stuck the plant out there. haha. I have been watering with some fish meal and sprinkled a little UREA around the plant a few days ago to get the nitrogen going.
In regards to B) we had a couple very hot days here but this week we are back in the low 70's with a lot of rain and minimal sunshine. I have been watering with cold water from the garden hose. Going to switch to watering with warm water from the house. This weather is making it impossible to keep the soil warm and a plant happy.
The plant has slowed in growth and I am behind the eight ball considering its may 22nd already. Lets see if the warm water helps get the soil back to temp
