and this is "Baby" on the 1303. go Baby go! lol. i started walking up to it say, "Hello Baby" so it just stuck. this shows the same set up as Jerry has. high shade tarp with t shirts and the switch over to white sheets real soon. the high tarp puts solid shade over kins and area around them at hottest parts of day. the sheets prevent the side angled morning and late afternoon sun. gonna be 93 to 98 all week. needless to say misting heavily still on bright sunny days when needed. got almost an inch of rain which was nice in that storm. next rains hopefully come without the wind. luckily i never lost power like my parents and all the surrounding communities. and the only hail was was very small and sporadic. i got very luck all things considered with that wicked storm that started over us and only got stronger as it went east. all in all very thankful for what i have. Baby on day 19 is 74" circ and chugging.
