Re: Is it done???

my fruit have slowed right down- around 6lbs a day rather than the 20-30
they should have been doing - i think temps around 100F hit them hard  when
i was combining.

also, mildew has come in real early despite spraying.

currently my biggest in only around 400lbs - still a few weeks for them to
bulk up though.
