| Geneva Electric, my
922.5 Emmons, continues to defy all the rules. It is now refusing
to slow down. The fruit is 45 days old and still is packing on 30
pounds a day. This morning I had to measure it twice - there has
to be some mistake..... but the tape don't lie, no matter how many times
I measure.... it just keeps on truckin'.
I've tried using
Al's formula to figure out an approximate final weight, but the number I
get is so outrageous it just can't be so. I keep telling myself I
have to wait for it to slow down for the formula to work... but it
just keeps going, and going and going - like an energizer bunny plugged
into AC.
GE glows in the
patch like a light bulb drawing 10 Megawatts
GE (short for Geneva
Electric) is also a power thief. It finally dawned on me why we're
getting all these power outages. GE has found a way to tap into
the power grid and is pulling so much juice she's tripping the main
breakers at the substation and blowing
transformers......
I've think I've
fixed this. I've hooked my car battery charger onto the main vine
and I'm running 8 amps into the plant on a continuous basis.
The power outages have stopped. Hopefully the power company won't
catch on......

has grown. I'm updating the page every other day
now.
