RE: bad start to the year


Right there with you Russ,
We are going to start construction on an ark this weekend. Anyone out there
have any ship building skills?

Debbie,

Have  you thought about just abandoning the main vine that got snapped and 
wait for a secondary to form and train it as you main.  I've done this in 
the past and it works.

Sorry to hear about your medical issues.

The weather here has really sucked, I planted out five plants, the wind took

out two, one week after setting out.  With three left, one is doing the 
ribbon thing, the other has a split in the main vine near the base, that 
leaves me with one good plant.  The plants are about half the size they 
should be for this time of year.  A lot of challenges this year.
