Tuesday, January 22 View Page Hope this works never put a picture up, this is me with my 225UOW. It was grown on the 723 Langevin (1354Checkon X 1068Wallace) Wednesday, January 23 View Page For football our coach always has us dedicate our games to someone we care about to motivate us to do the best we possibly can, so I am going to dedicate this season. I am dedicating it to my girlfriend Emily and my mom. This is a picture of Emily and I dipping pretzels for Christmas this year. She is really cool and supports this crazy hobby, and might even help me out in the patch this year. My mom might not let me use the yard if I don't include her so better be on the safe side. Tuesday, May 6 View Page I haven't posted in a while pumpkin germination is at 100%, squash is at 0% however I still have seeds. All plants are health except the 664 Liggett. The Liggett is a mutant plant and is growing random parts from leafs. There is a very slim chance that the plant will become normal. I am keeping it for testing. The 1427 Kopp is now my main plant. 1032 is the biggest however it is a week and a half older than the 1427. 1032 will also produce large so its my backup for compitition. The 1427 is not growing like the others, insted of one leaf folding out with another leaf following with space in between it is growing more like a bush verity with lots of leafs shooting up from the middle of the plant. Hope to have some pictures soon.
