the one and only surviver of the corn seed maggot infestation was the 1725 harp and it looks strong still with no signs of any damage to the stem all the way to the top of the roots. thank God i noticed the 1161 limpiness signs last wednesday to check the base of the plants and pick the one corn seed maggot off the stem of the 1725 before it started eating. what are the odds of that. knock on wood and it survives, i have some big hopes from this girl. and speaking of the 1725 harp, she has a sister plant that has sprouted and pushed dirt today. nice. if it is a genetically sound sprout with no signs of doubling up, then it will go into the shazzydome this week and be 8 days behind her sister. this is the hottest part of the patch and the plants always grow the fastest in this honey hole. this should help catch her up in no time. and a little staggering might be good insurance for late season waiting until the weigh offs with hopes of one going a week early to milwaulkee. after typing that last line, i realize how my hopes and dreams have not been squashed by this early set back and i have a whole new callous and hard headed drive to do whatever it takes. i can take it.
