I has been a little over 2 weeks since I started the second plot and I thought I would compare growing results between them. For reference the Western plot receives sun from sun up until the late afternoon (currently 16:30), whereas the Southern plot gets sun from late morning (currently 11:00) until sundown.

| Southern Plot | Western Plot |
Despite my predictions I would say that the original plot is showing much better growth than its counterpart in the south. In particular the Spinach is doing much better on the western side. The Cilantro, Broccoli and Corn are also showing better growth in the west. It is possible that I have not been watering the Southern plot enough but I have been fairly diligent. The ground temperature over there is extremely hot on sunny days so possibly the roots are not staying cool enough. I am really just guessing as I am fairly uneducated in the optimal conditions for growing vegetables.
In other happenings some high winds last week knocked over my cherry tomato basket. A large branch broke off the plant but the rest of it seems fine. The strawberries are really coming in now as you can see above. I gotta get some ice cream.
