Well plants are doing ok, sprayed Bare systemic fungicide today for we have had a lot of rain. Some leaves are tinting to yellow hope its from rain and clouds. Weather is turning hot and dry starting tomorrow will see if this turns them green again. If does not, may add some epsom salt to next watering. Did loose (young plant), backup is gansert not sure of numbers on seed, do not have it in front of me. Haist is slowest plant in ground now, have put in backup beside it. The backup is Brezinick also not sure of nmbers on seed. Will find and post later, hopefully with some pics. (Tight lines) cp out.

Well went out this afternoon and found two spots of rot on my Buglio plant. Scraped out the bad stuff, at least what I saw, cleaned up and coated with sulfur powder. This plant currentley has one at 195 ott at 25 DAP. Hope I can get all the rot cleared up. Also found a little spot on my Gansert, cleaned up and put on sulfur. This plant has one going at 137 ott at 18 DAP. Weigh off is along way off, need some help from above to keep them going. Bad thing is our rain chances are between 50-60% for this week. (Rot,Rot,Rot) sounds great does it not. Tight lines, cp out. P.S. any local growers to North Carolina give me a shout at my email.

Also the rot is near the stump not on kin. Did not clearly state that on last post.
