Thanks   Thursday, September 1 View Page We finally have power after five days. My plants lost alot of leaves. Here is the 958 gansert. No leaves--- but still chugging along.   Thursday, September 1 View Page Here is the Stelts. Lost about 90% of its leaves. I will find a away to keep my plants going till the fair. I only lost leaves --- I still got roots.   Sunday, September 18 View Page My marble is loaded and ready to roll to Durham   Wednesday, September 28 View Page Heres the 958 Gansert before I loaded for the local fair. It is a great color. The cross is 958 Gansert x 1662 Stelts. I did not do a OTT as the rain started as I was loading. I am hoping it goes 375. This was a great pmkn -- just a new patch and a newbie growing it otherwise it would have been a good sized pmkn.   Wednesday, October 12 View Page The 958 Gansert-- Now the 450 Gouin (est) with my great neices and nephews
