Rain for past several days. Temps are almost up to normal but growth is still lagging behind. Mopst average 13 to 16 pounds per day. Estimated weights today" 689 McWilliams = 448#, 655 Lovelace = 407#. 910 Young = 322#. 1275.5 Carlson-Petersen = 279#. 547 McWilliams = 216#. A little over 7 weeks to go, so I think I will pick up on the fertilizer, adding a little more K. Hopefully a couple still have 1000# potential. Something started chewing on my 689, so I need to head right out to the patch with more fox urine to scare the critter away.

Today is Jacob's 18th birthday, and we registered him for his last day of high school. He will have one more summer of growing before heading off to college, leaving me with all of the garden chores after that. They grow up too fast.
