Rookie Success!

I went to my neighbor's this morning and got a pleasant surprise. I started
a Jepsen 731 in a pot this year and gave it to the neighbor's daughter with
some instructions.

I helped her transplant it on top of a dirt mound in the old cow paddock. We
would drive by every day and cheer for her vines. She has two fruits and one
is at least 375lbs!

I am so proud of her and have enjoyed her success as I had little this year.

Thanks for the seed Steve. I think you helped bring a 13-year-old girl into
the Club! I will post a pic at the end of the season. Good luck everyone. I
will be very busy with harvest in a few weeks!

P.S. You learn something every year with this hobby. The lesson here is that
she gave this plant relatively LITTLE care. I did give her some fertilizer
and advise.

I was going to help her apply 0-0-60 to her vine but after mine blew I held
off. Sometimes we may do too much?
