Well you have to post and show the good times along with the bad times....today marks the beginnings of the bad times!!LOL!...you gotta laugh and take it as Last year we struggled thru and ended up posting a couple decent fruits..this season things will be different I suspect!!.....Anyways last weekend we ended a very very long dry spell with some seriously nasty rains...I am thinking we got some where in the 7 to 8 inch range between friday morning and sunday afternoon.and even trying to keep things moist during the dry spell when stuff like that happens it's going to cause problems...here is one of the problems. Marc took this shot of the stump of the 1810.....the tennis ball is in there for size references.... All pumpkins have takena hit this week on growth and such..this is not our only issue thru out the entire patches. Nick's fruits are having issues. Our's at my house also showing issues as are John Shepard's and it just goes to show....it takes a little luck along the way...anyways one more pic to follow
