here is the 1247 handy plant that is 36 days old today from sprouting. it has a couple of burnt leaf edges from
excessive heat conditions when temps got into the high
90s in the greenhouse. and today i noticed one slug cut
leaf on a small tender one. besides that it is gowing like
crazy and tomorrow i will have to remove the greenhouse
and put up a silt fence around it. the overhead sprinkling
system and shade cloth hail protector system can not go up
until the other 3 greenhouses are removed on june 1st.
i will use as many misters as needed to keep it cool if we
get some silly 90 degree days prior to that. also i will
take an extra piece of temporary shade cloth and have it
rolled up along the fence line to be attached to the 4 x 4
posts and strung over the plant if violent spring storms
with hail procucing possibilities come rolling in.
once the other three greenhouses are removed june 1st,
the entire patch shade cloth/hail protection system will be
rolled up and in place to be stretched across all 4 keeper
plants, over the steel rope support system that will be
set up june 1st as well. the 1247's main vine today is
exactly 5' and i am beginning to train the secondaries
as well.
