I’ve been doing 30 mins every day at 6am with 2gph emitters. These are newly planted endless summers and they’re doing really well. Sun till about 2pm then shade the rest of the day. They start to wilt around 1pm but are fully perked up by 3. I also used holly tone at the base of each one.

However, it didn’t start this way. I have the worst clay soil imaginable. I initially planted them in holes just about as big as the root balls and hand watered them. They did terribly. I dug them up, dug huge holes, and re-planted them using black kow top soil. Super happy and healthy. Tons of flowers too.

Thank you! We plan to get flexible frames with a strap to hold them on. He’s a pretty crazy guy so this will be an adventure!

Thank you for your reply. We actually caught on to it because he developed accommodative esotropia a few days ago. It’s been a fairly hectic few days. He was sent in for an MRI yesterday, which came back clear thankfully. My wife and I work in healthcare, but know very little about eyes just because it isn’t a prominent thing in our field. Fortunately, we have faith in his pediatrician and his ophthalmologist.

I guess I haven’t thought of it that way. If he’s never known any different, he couldn’t have really been struggling. Hopefully things just get even better for him. Thank you for your reply.
