Re: Questions
Hi all
Just curious how the 991 Hunt, 815 Checkon and 875 Dill are doing for
people.?? Just starting in Central Ca,. Great weather here for now, but
the furnace will soon turn on. Strongly believe the heat and day length
mature fruit and plants. Looks to be a short season possibly by the way
all the crops are maturing rapidly.
Gook luck to all this year.
