I have A single plant and it is getting lots of my attention. Maybe an average of 90 to 120 minutes per day.

1 to 4. And then there's all the time I spend thinking about the patch and what to do next and what should I do different next year. So we could be talking 24 hours a day.

3 plants. About 1 hr per day right now. as the plants get bigger that time will increase with the size of the plants and taper off after the side vines are terminated.

July is definately the busiest month. Burying vines, terminating vines, pollinating, sand under kin and adjusting kin for growth. I find Aug. relaxing. Water, Fertilize and watch er grow.
