Up early to pollinate Dill's #1 plant, used 3 males to do the deed. I'd covered it yesterday with a plastic baggie with many small holes punctured in it. I wasn't sure when it would open but when I went out this AM at 5:30 it was open and HUGE inside the baggie. It's out about 13 feet and I have another female downstem 1.5 feet away which shold open tomorrow. It's been cool and cloudy for a week or more but the two Huff 1027's are now beginning to run their mains out-FINALLY! And my other DIll's plant remains under the hot house but it's coming around. The 3rd Dill's plant pollinated 4 days ago is growing which shocks me as this is the one planted in a 20 gallon wash tub and only out about 4 ft. Small but mighty. Need to change fertilizer program for a higher p & K number with less N. My growing area is very small so watering is fairly easy. I'm still watering with warm H20 and will give every plant a shot of foliar Kelp spray today.
