Our plan was to start 3 plants and cull down to one primary plant. We want the best odds we can get so 3 plants will see the dirt. 2 will be on the wide end of the patch and one on the narrow end of the patch. The two on the wide end of the patch will only grow for about 3 weeks or so before one plant will need to be culled. The last two will have about 5-7 weeks before the last culling decision will need to be made. The optimal location is on the far side against the fence where the patch is just over 20 feet wide. The patch is shaped sort of like a tree with one end about 23 feet wide and the far side about 10 feet wide. Here I am continuing to dig out the double wide planting hole. This is where the side by side (about 4 feet apart) starts will go.
