4 new stainless steel 2-tier shelf sets have been put into the greenhouse to get plants a bit further up off the cold brick floor. |

Average outdoor weekly temperature is 33.6F. The greenhouse average weekly temperature is 51.5F and its thermostat was set around 45F. Today I've bumped the thermostat up to 55F to try and get some of the greenhouse trees to flower/grow. |

Each plant is given 2-3 Jobe's container citrus spikes, a handful of G&B organic citrus & fruit tree fertilizer, a handful of miracle grow shake n feed citrus fertilizer, and deeply watered with Jack's 20-10-20 Citrus Feed. Mulched with rice hulls. |
| build | Action Feb 27, 2023 |
While adding dry/granular fertilizer (mulch removed first) I carefully dug up the root flare -- possible this tree may have also been planted too deeply? We'll see if exposing the root flare helps. |

Leafs dropped during overwintering. Possibly due to overwatering or root damage during the up-potting. |

| upgrade | Potting Up Jul 31, 2022 |
Up potted into a 10 gallon air pot. Mixed a 5-1-1 soil from aged/composted fir bark fines, perlite, and peat or coco coir. I also add some 1/2" fir bark chunks and worm casings. |

Motivation for getting a Brown Select Satsuma is that their fruit arrives a few weeks before Owari. This potentially could be the best cantidate for an early ripening sweet citrus in the PNW if you give it some protection. |
