1725 Harp ’09 (F: 1385 Jutras x self)

Seed was placed in the propagation chamber on April 11th and it was planted in the cold frame on April 19th

Plant is doing well, but it seems to have the tendency to grow up and not want to stay grounded. I have used some more bamboo stakes and afternoon encouragement to get it on the straight and level.

As you can see the area around the plant has a lot of weeds and this was done on purpose. The weeds were allowed to grow (even though they will be pulled out later) so the roots and exudates they produce can help increase the soil biology around the initial plant site.
