Re: Pollinated two more this morning....WhoooHooo!!!
I did it, I killed 3 out of the six I had. I am planning on cutting one more but
don't know which ones. Before I forget I wanted to thank everyone for all the
advice. Now I have the 2 800+lb plants on one mound and one of the 400+lb plant
on a mound around 10ft away. Which one should I axe. It's so sad but you gotta
do what you gotta do to get several 50+ pounders. The 2 800+lb plants are near
the top end of my fence and are both growing in the same direction and about 20
ft long each. What should I do? Thanks
