Lanterra Update > I have had two belts of hail with minor leaf damage and no wind damage at all. The weeds are horrific due to the timely rainfall. I'm running low on molasses but have good supplies of fish, myco & seaweed. I have only watered a couple of times and really have only setup 2 of 8 drip lines.

All my pollination's are done this year using fresh flowers and are closed pollination's. At this point I'm pretty much finished with pollinating flowers. I will shift gears to fruit growth and culling season. The fun begins now as I really like to measure the fruit daily. I have recently done one soil sample and one tissue sample and the results have been favourable beyond my best hope.

On the bad side, I was really wishing that the 1134 would have been a stronger plant. On Tuesday
I had an accident with a deer that nearly destroyed both my car and me. The 5am encounter with mother nature was a wake up call. $7500.00 in damages to my Dodge Magnum. Luckily the deer went under the car and not over it as it hit right in the rad and hood in front of the drivers
steering wheel. Yikes...................the Kahuna lives to play pumpkin for a few more days............
