Hello Vancouver Growers, It's been a while since I have updated anything on the this sight, but rest assured North Shore Boys there are some other growers still around.

This year I continued to not give up hope for my front yard patch and added more amendments this spring. All with the hopes of being able to grow something in the front yard after 3 years of unsuccessful soil.

As you can see by the picture, this year seems like it could be it!!! Wooohoo. I have the healthiest plants yet planted there. So nice to see the soil finally working for me instead of against me.

I have 2 plants this year 638 Lockley and a 466 Werner.

The plant in the picture is the 638 Lockley. This plant I have in my main patch with heating cables underneath it. I guess it's time to shut them off with all this nice weather. It is vine-ing our very nicely with lots of secondaries. My Personal best is 228lbs my first year. If there is a year to beat it, It will be with this plant. Fingers crossed.
