Think I killed quite a few aphids yesterday. Good thing too! Turned up the water slightly again seeing as we are getting better weather. If tomorrow is hot I will bump it up a little more.

I just measured the main one--a couple of hours later than usual. It is up a bit more than the usual 10 lbs--about 15 lbs gained since yesterday! Approx weight is 576 lbs (306 OTT on day 52). New growth starting to pick up the pace, hot weather on the way and many aphids dead--things looking up a little. Still, it took 8 days to gain the last 100 lbs--not so good. Would love to break the 1000 lb mark, but everyday it slips a bit further away. We'll see.
