Planted the 1306 and an 823 yesterday, the calendar said it was a good time.

I put the 1306 Jutras in hoop #1 with the heating cable.

In hoop #3 I put the best looking 823 Perry, which was difficult because they all looked good. Hoop #3 is in what I consider my prime garden and where the 1306 was grown last year that produced the 823. I have located this years seed in a different spot than the 1306 was grown in, but it will be basically be covering the same area. the soil back there is very sandy, loose, deep and well ammended.
At planting I incorporated a 40# bag of Bull country compost, micronized endomycorrhizal fungi, and the plant growth activator by "Organica" which contains various strains of BT. I then watered the two plants in with a light mixture of Tom's humic & fulvic acid blend and kelp, 2 gallons each plant.

I'm undecided as to what seed will go in hoop #2, hopefully the 1507 Jutras, but that seed is still not looking very promising.
