This off season was great; very much enjoyed attending the seminars in Vegas and in Ohio. Warm temps have allowed us to get everything ammended, plowed, disked, and covered in plastic.

Tuesday, July 3 View Page 1789 is about 5 days away from being pulled out [waaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh]. every single female gets about dime sized and then fails to develop. not one single female has bloomed on the whole entire plant. i'm extremely sad.
