Re: Contest
I don't have a scanner or digital camera yet. I'm
leaning toward an inexpensive model for a digital
camera so I can download directly to the pc.
I don't even have fruit set yet so I dont' know a
maturity date. I'm hoping to get there by the
beginning of July. THe growing season here can extend
to the middle of october so I am thinking I will get 3
solid months of growth-90 days.
