g'day all. i have been readind your posts for a while now
and figured i better join and say hello. this is my first
year growing a.g's and i am trying to soak up as much info
as i can. i found the seeds at canadian tire and planted
them not noing i would become adicted and start spending
all my free time after work in the garden. just cant get enough, lol.
ive got 4 plants but my best on has a 8" fruit that was
pollinated 4 days ago. the rest are about the size of a ping
pong ball, and only set within the past 2 days. the small
ones are round but the big one is kinda football shaped.
it is also the only one that started out green and turned
yellow. i have a few more to set in the morning but its
going to rain i think. but ill giver a bunt anyway, cant hurt.

cheers,
mike.

Welcome Mike-you are correct that you can easily become addicted. Most of us are already planning for next year and wondering what we will learn in tomorrows posts! Best of luck. Tom

Welcome indeed. Don't feel too bad for the addiction. You could do a whole lot worse for yourself. It's a fine crowd of people gathered here.

Mike; i see we share that "can`t hurt" attitude. great! this is only my second year at growing ags so don`t put any stock in any advice from me.(it`s usually crap and it`s always bs anyway). you will find a ton of useful info here once you see who to listen to and who to not. lol. the 3 posted above me are great examples of the "who to" club. they have never steered me wrong. good luck with your new addiction!

Hey Valley Boy!!Welcome.This is my second year growing AG's and I've determined that even if you don't have one when you start,you will rapidly develop obsessive/compulsive/addictive behavior.....You have been warned!!!
