Finally got the one patch fully tilled. It's been really cold and wet, and also windy as my rough looking and neglected wind fence shows. Risk of frost tonight believe it or not. What a year. It was cold last spring but worse this year. May had the most rain ever recorded. I've hand watered twice in a month and both times watering was very light. Can't really feed.

I'm probably about 9 feet on the longest plant (1803) and way ahead of my best ever but it's still frustrating with only a foot of growth in the last 3-4 days. I don't even have to move the bamboo sticks after two days. The cold night have been the culprit. Warm weather really would have put me out to a fast start. Oh well.

Not much I can do. Hope there's no frost tonight, I didn't even think of taking the time to cover anything.
