And all my good friends that have contacted me privately and publicly. You
said fight well that is what I did, Let me set the scenario for you.....
I used some OLD safer soap and must had added the mixture too strongly,
I believe it had concentrated due to evaporation. But it happened so live
with it. Yes, I lost the weaker 791 Glasier and that is in the record books
BUT I tried my last and final attempt to save the other 791 and the 986
Hester. I hand washed each leaf and stem with a trickle of water and a GENTLE
HAND, OK forget the gentle hand I broke off half the dicots and damaged one
leaf, then opened up the hose and drowned the plants for an hour and a half.
Don't worry the ground can take it I didn't even have any pudding.. Well, I
have to say I gave it my best shot, Finished the night with a prayer and went
to bed. This morning the plants had not gone one way or the other A GOOD SIGN
indeed. Well, I have to announce that as of this afternoon and 200 gallons of
water more the 791 Glasier is looking much better I will have four disfigured
and burnt leaves but it wants to live!! YEAH O YES YEAH !!!
The 986 Hester is another story since it only had two leaves it took a
hard hit and hasn't gotten near popping out of it yet. So I will cut my
losses and replant mound #1
That should be easy I do have a few seeds thanks to all of you and will
plug right along for the biggest Jack O lantern In the WORLD !!
Seriously though Thank you all for your support and I really mean it from
the heart
THANK YOU ALL
I needed the kind words !!!
