how many boxes of moth balls and gallons of rabbit repellent does it take to protect the 1209 from another bite. hopefully 8 boxes of moth balls and 2 gallons of rabbit repellent around the perimeter of the patch will work. at least i know now the last minor wound was a rabbit or other varmint. not a slug. the other minor damage that is 2" long by about a quarter inch wide now has healed. this wound on the other hand is considered major damage. if this female on the good side of chew mark takes, no harm no foul. otherwise i will take a secondary closest to the cut and train it out and be behind 2.5 to3 weeks on this plant. it should open sunday or possibly monday at latest. all females on all plants are healthy and strong and developing normal and i should be hitting the 1493 sunday with the 1725 and the 1209 with the 1493 if both females open the same day which looks to be the case. the female on the 1725 at 17.5' is developing and the female at 13.5' was toast like i thought it was from the heat. i have a secondary 1725 opening in the morning but not in a good location and i will do that route later out of necessity if it is the case. this picture was taken yesterday. how many budweisers do you think i drank yesterday? lol. it's over and let's hope the 14 footer on the 1209 takes. lots of patch work to do tomorrow and i will take out my frustration with busy work.
