LanTerra Update > Not much to report this week here at the home world except that the home land defense system has failed the watermelons. Frost that five letter word had sneaked into my patches last week with a plague of black death. All three are alive but just barely.

I haven't yet been able to bring myself around to culling yet although I should have begun this dreaded chore by now. I will wait a bit yet to see what happens. Still the largest plant in the yard is the backup 1134 Landry growing next to the sure keeper 1055* Pitura. After a slow start the 998 Pukos is looking stronger and and stronger each day. In patch 2 the many 752* Landry fungal plants are widely growing out of control. With so many plants in a small area its fun to watch them all grow and compete for size. This little experiment may turn out to surprise a few of us.

With a favourable weather report and good vine growth coming soon I will star to rototill each patch again soon. The water barrels are filled to the top and I finally weeded each hoop house.
