Well it's better late than never to start a diary for 2018. I am super busy as usual and nothing is getting the proper care and attention it needs. I am always juggling with too many balls. This is a picture of the 200 foot row of Black Diamond x Carolina Cross. Chris Kent gave me the seeds. All of these are on various sorts of grafted rootstocks. (bushel gourd, C. ficifolia, 'Rampart', 'Shintosa Camelforce',Caveman's club' and sponge gourd. They were spaced 15' apart and allowed to sprawl over 12' of black plastic. They have already outgrown their alloted space and are growing out onto the dirt. These are being grown without sprays. So they are at natures whim. Fortunately they are on "new soil". They will all be good for eating. Hopefully I am able to grow some big ones too.
