For once I'm not here asking for advice or presenting a silly newbie
question. I'm here to state that I'm finally in the game!
Despite my naivete to AG's (and gardening for that matter)...
despite killing off my first set of plants by burning them under a
homemade cloche...
despite planting my second set of plants too late...
despite cramming three plants (grown from off-the-shelf seed) into an
area which could not even properly hold three tomato plants...
despite over-watering my plants to the point where mushrooms were
growing around the roots...
despite fertilizing my plants using a broken watering can because my
hose and spayer won't reach...
despite using no insecticide and only squishing cucumber beetles using
my fingers (and allowing a toad to reside in the patch)...
despite having fruit after fruit abort...
despite all these set backs, I have finally met some success. I have a
10 day old fruit which is long and watermelon shaped with a
circumference of 30" and I have a perfectly round fruit which at 9 days
has a circumference of 20".
I may not set any records but I'm finally in the game! Thanks for
everyone's help. Now, where can I rent a forklift? hmmmm...
