Lots of work going on to get the patch ready for success in 2013. I want to thank Jim and Chris for sharing their seeds with me and to Tom P for all his good advice. Sometimes I think about everything that needs to happen soon and it becomes overwhelming and exciting at the same time. I guess that's why we do this, right! My goal is 700 lbs in 2013!! Wednesday, May 1 View Page Today is the day to start. 5 seeds are soaking. 795 Dunn and980 Fredricks. Wednesday, May 1 View Page The start......... Wednesday, May 8 View Page All 5 are up and growing! Wednesday, May 8 View Page Ooops forgot my picture. Here's the evidence. Thanks to Chris D and Jim F for their healthy stock. Tuesday, June 4 View Page All 5 are doing great. Vines are starting and the main roots are really thick and healthy looking. Just one problem - moles. I've had them before but they are all over. I've hear they don't bother the plants. Does anyone have any experience with this? Tuesday, June 4 View Page All 5 plants are doing great! Vining is starting to take off. Main vines look really thick and healthy. My current probem is moles. They are all over the place. I've had them in the past, but never noticed any destruction of the plants. I've hear they eat grubs? Anyone have any advice? The gofers are controllable but very destructive. Just not sure about the moles. Monday, June 17 View Page My Dunn and Fredericks are so beautiful and healthy. I don't remember having so many females starting ever. The first males opened up this morning and more females than I can count. I'm really hopeful. Thank you Jim and Chris. Monday, July 8 View Page 795 Dunn. Looks great, thanks Chris 134 OTT at 14 days Thursday, July 25 View Page Dunn at 30 DAP 257 OTT I'm SOO happy and she's beautiful. Just hope I can keep the plant healthy. What a challenge. Every week I spray fungicide by seeing a few leaves start up on several plants. I think I will hit 400 lbs any day (like tomorrow!) Tuesday, August 13 View Page Very excited - ny personal best at OTT 301 for 608 lbs!! This is the 795 Dunn. Tuesday, August 13 View Page Here is the stem to the 795 Dunn on 8/13. I would love to know why the skin is oozing a bit. I think it's from the growth on tight skin, but I am not sure. I fed 0-0-50, maybe too much? I would love some advice!!
