Was a nice day in Cincinnati Ohio today so figured to feed my Troy Bilt Horse with some ground. Only planning on planting 2 plants.

Started my lineup for this year. Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania state record seeds. Hopefully they will pop in few days and not like my trail run few weeks ago, 0 for 5. Didn't do anything different than other years but never had problems before.

My lineup of four seeds came up and looking good. I transferred them into larger pots now, and hopefully some warm days and nights to warm up the soil. Was only thinking about planting 2 plants this year but may do three. Four was pushing it last year with all being 150 sq foot plants. Made the plot bigger and will choose my best two or three plants since all came from great genetics.

I might have killed or hurt half of my plants. My watering meter system got me. The dail on fertilizer and magnesium got moved to 80 percent and it put over 1 lbs of 42 urea and one lb of Epson salt on two of my plants. About 1/4 of leaves look like end of season brown and crunchy. I gave them a good dose of water trying to water it down. Fingers cross they will pull through.
