planted all four of my plants in the patch today the 1304 is the strongest plant now even though it started out slow followed closely by the 795 and my own 200 the 1221 is lagging behind hopefully it catches up

well its been awhile since I updated my diary I lost the 1221 and the 795 due to dumb mistakes on my part not covering them during a massive wind and rain storm. I planted backups and only one of them came up it is the 795 again so hopefully it takes off. both the 1304 and my little 200 are doing well I will post pics soon
