Cornerstone Update > All plants are doing well here at the home of quad mix heaven. The new 100 yards or so of fresh screened composted soil is doing a tremendous job of providing lots of microbes for the plant roots.
Culling season has arrived as I lopped off the head of the companion back-up plants next to the 898 Knauss and the 1385 Jutras. With only one more cull to come the transition to wild vine growth is about to quickly commence.
The 1446 Werner is on the ground and running. With a strong thick dark green vine it looks to be a fabulous producer. Followed closely behind is the 1385 Jutras that has leaves so large they almost touch the sides of the hoop house. The 898 stunt a tad bit by heat early on has recovered to firmly hold the third spot. Picking up the anchor position are both of the 1134 Landry 07. Not really that much smaller their main vines are a tad yellower in color and both are of equal size nearly on the ground too. Bringing up the rear is 752* Landry, backup that was put after both the 1502 and it backup were lost.
The weigh-off date for Cornerstone is September 20th with top prize of 1000 dollars Can.
Planting continues here in the field area as I now have about 1 acre of seedlings planted after several days of coolish temperatures they adapted very well. There is still about another acre to plant over the next few days. Last weeks frost was mostly a non event for the field crop as only 5 plants had to be replaced yesterday and they consisted of AGP backups that I had decided to put in.
