window shot of "Baby" on the 1303. that is a 10" fan for reference size. shortest cone shaped stem i have ever seen, more like hershey kiss than a can. should make it very interesting very soon. taps severed, main raised on blocks. gonna have to bring the main all the way equal to stem and raise it as i go. i will take pictures in the future. just hoping these girls took that heat in stride and keep chugging. the last 2 days i had misters running from 8 am to 8 pm. anything to cool air canopy, plants, soil and ppumpkins. been a week of hell i will never forget. no weeding with that heat spell means today i trimmed grasses going above leaf canopy and will not pull them, but keep them chopped down as they grow. those weeds were helping with the water pressure with heavy misting. first spray in 13 days will be a good fungicide and insecticide combo now.the heat has broke. go "baby" go!
