Thanks to all for the support. I know alot have gone through similar
trials and tribulations. It's new for me and I'm not adapting to it
well.
I have not done any fert. this year just ran a winter rye cover
crop.
Plants looked excellant most of the year until this hit.
I don't ever expect to "GROW A WORLD RECORD". I live in Iowa and Do
have some clue on how this sport goes!! Look at the state record. I'm a
realist. All I ever want to do is grow a big healthy plant and see what
I COULD get out of a healthy plant.
I don't care WHO grows a bigger pumpkin the me. I basically do this
for the fun. Which I think alot of people (not necessarily people on
this list) should stop and take a look at why they do this. Just my
opinion. I'm sure some of you can pick a few out who seem to be out for
every "DOLLAR" they can make.
The pines that border my patch on 2 sides only don't shade only late
in the afternoon around 4:00 maybe 3:30. The needles don't fall in the
patch and the soil was tested at 6.8 PH.don't think this is a problem.
The 791 glasier is slowing way down. Tonight meas. are 115 x 69 x72.
The stump is just about gone. I'm leaving all my troubles behind and
going to Canada fishing with my kids and family!! Thanks for all the
support!!
