Massive patch at maybe 15 by 8   Friday, August 25 View Page Then it grew...   Friday, August 25 View Page and grew...   Friday, August 25 View Page and grew to 261" OTT. I haven't measure or taken a picture yet this week. But weather has been so dang cool.   Wednesday, September 13 View Page Threw some stinky dr earth that sat out for a day. The concentrate lasted a few days. Now im reckless and slopping 5 gal buckets all over, bending and breaking old leaves. 500 lbs, but hard to measure since its sunk into the peat moss like a bowling ball in a mash potatoes.   Wednesday, September 13 View Page Super inconsistent use of copper this summer. I used to spray some fungicidal chemicals but that didnt support the micro life. Just sprayed when the plant asked me.   Wednesday, September 13 View Page Qtips seeds. The plants grew with no intervention. Although i hammocked the clusters of 2 pounders after it collapsed under 12 lbs. First time growing tomatoes.   Thursday, September 14 View Page Advanced teas in beer buckets. and a pot because the little guy hums itself all over the floor if its not encased. My special blend of humic, fulvic, sea minerals, beastie bloomz, maxcrop seaweed, dechlorinator stuff, forest humus, molasses, some stinky dr earth and my dead skin cells as i hand stirred it.   Thursday, September 14 View Page Prior to teas, its important to collect window well frogs and toads to swish beneficial warts and bacteria around the never washed plastic. Grow micros! Haha   Friday, September 15 View Page Its getting a lot of attention in the burbs. A school bus stopped to chat today...geez its just a baby compared to the bigger dorks here on bigpumpkins :)   Friday, September 15 View Page at the park today another parent stated chatting with me. She said ,"you live on that street." I said ,"yes" knowing why she knew. She jumps into ,"you know its the talk of the neighborhood." Lol. I would have used the backyard but the sunlights closer to the front yard, so every car gets to see it. More sod kicker for next year. Keeping up with the jones'   Friday, September 15 View Page I get all night long "what are you going to do with it?" I respond,"grow it bigger."   Saturday, September 23 View Page 4 am posting! Cleaned the garden up. 92 degrees and palm trees in minnesota. Bussel sprouts, you take forever.   Saturday, September 23 View Page 505 to 540 lbs on the various charts. Gonna say had no idea it would break 200 lbs. The garden is small and i bent the secondaries to fit into a 15 by 8 area. Next year: bury more vines insteaf of doing it as the wind flopped over sections; better soil instead of ordering 2 yards of dirt in july because i was still sod kicking; remove all grass instead of badly kicked up sod; more room instead of contorting the plant; proactive pm and organic bug control.
