We lost the 839 McWilliams to root rot. Even though we had a wet June I thought it was safe since the cold May kept it in the hoop house so long. Also when the hoop came off I kept a cover over the stump, but that is where the rot started. So tomorrow the rest get fungicide treatments. The best plant in the patch is the 1723 Marshall. Of course that is the one that lost the main to the groundhog. It has a female to pollinate on the secondary replacing the main in a couple days. The electric fence is good and hot now and there is one less ground hog to worry about. I saw Don Young's latest diary post, and he has nothing to worry about from our patch this year.
