Well I got off to a great start this year. I Inlarged the
garden to 55X30 and added 15 loads of horse and cow manuare. I then built
five large green houses and installed heeting cables in two off them. Last week
I had pollinated a 1,036 Kline at 11' and a 914 Wentzell at 10' . I had
wind fences with rope to stakes so I could cover the plants in bad
wheather. This weekend I took my wife and two kids to camp to take a break
from the pumpkin patch and catch a few fish. Well I came home tonight by myself
only to find all my hard work full of holes. We must of had one bad hail
storm and most of the leaves are full of holes and vine tips were broken
of. The worst part is my son is growing a 780 Eaton plant that he was
working on everyday and it was looking great. I'm not looking forword to seeing
my 8 year old sons face when he comes home from camp and sees his
plant. I hope you all have a lot more luck this year then I'm
having. Don in "Thunder Bay"
