The weather seems to be warming up here in the Honesdale area. The plants are looking better and better each day but are still smaller than they could be. At my main site both plants had issues. My 1302 Teeter had its head cut off by some 50 mile an hour winds and my other plant the 964 Wolf was showing some wilting signs. I immediatley and possibly prematurely panicked thinking the Sayre corn maggots were back and gave it a heavy dose of Diazinon. That stuff is wicked and I think I burnt it and set it back. Finally there is some new growth sprouting. I have placed backup plants in just in case but I am far behind my Sayre challenger and far behind the local Dyberry Patch guy. My home patch is looking good but the plants too are on the small side. Maybe mother nature will whip them into shape. I tilled today to show the weeds who the boss is.
