The first deep garden blight notice began with the bed rotation map and the growers’ sample notes. Since then, the city has moved through a source check, a public hearing and a trial at the Deep Garden terraces beneath the south cistern.
The current docket records 19 beds showing the same pale edge on their leaves; the earlier file recorded 16. The count is more specific than the first summary, but still does not answer whether the affected beds should be isolated before the next communal harvest.
A key point in the timeline was the discovery of a faint ring on the underside of leaves nearest the shared watering trench. It narrowed the dispute from a general claim about the rule to a question about how the rule behaves at the site.
Growers see the pattern spreading along one trench; the garden office says the samples do not yet distinguish rot from mineral stress. The current record does not settle that disagreement. The parties now share more of the record than they did at the start, though they assign it different weight.
Residents and workers have had their first chance to question the measure in public. The entry belongs to the midyear count file at the Deep Garden terraces beneath the south cistern. The soil readers will take paired samples from both sides of the trench. The next review will show whether the change lasts beyond this docket or returns as another temporary exception.
