The Teams have been separated from the pile of great stuff I�ve managed to collect by overbidding at several BPA�s auctions, segregated by orange potential (L column) and giant potential, (R column) and order of starting (row) depending on failure of higher row candidates. Since I only have room for 2 vines in my 850sf patch and will invest an amount of time only comprehended by other addicted to this take-no-prisoners sport, I�d better wind up with a good one from each column by Sept. Hard to know when to pot the first 2 seeds. Gotta anticipate they will be the ones delivering the Sept prizes, but more likely will crump along the way, requiring a genius-like set of back up plans. Last year got off to a late start for a variety of reasons, most notable applying for payroll protections loans for my wife�s swim school business (took a full week � and yes, we survived despite all prediction) and my first 2 seeds pots planted 4.10, never sprouting. Started team 2 pair 4/18 � the 1780 Wagner 1797 Checkon � both sprouted but never flourished. Finally got the same pair that grew till season�s-end in 2019 � the 1613 McCracken (produced a 1291.5 lb) and 1501 Wagner (produced a bright orange 500 lb.) potted May 1 and in the ground over cables on May 15 � Month behind!! � still the vines collapsed before end of season with a 705 on the orange Wagner and 750 on the yellow McCracken. Maybe it makes no difference when we start.
Plan April 10 � from the L column 1464 Brown (1501 Vanderwielen x self � 2019 HD Winner)
From the R column 2015 Ford �20 (1938 Sperry x 1872 Sipple � 30% heavy)
April 17 Orange Column 1263 Montsma �20 (1872 Sipple x self � HD winner)
Big Column 1822 Sipple (2145 McMullen x self)
April 24 Orange 1002 Ailts (1211 Aits x self) Looked REALY orange on the
Big 1632 Steltz �17 (1803 Steltz x 2143 McMullen)
Plant all survivors side by side in 2 directions and cull when brave enough.
