Re: my 977
Chris,
Maybe you drowned them!!! ROTFL....!! Are you still having alot of rain? Could
that be part of the problem? My 977's are doing great, the one vine finally
succombed to gravity & came down to earth. I'm at a quandry about what to do
with my other 977. I have it in the same bed as Mr. Pumpkin - at opposite ends
from each other, one's gonna have to go, but they're both doing equally well.
The other 977 has the best bed all by itself. I decided to keep Hue - want to
see what it produces. I have 3 pumpkin plants in the new patch & you can tell
that the soil isn't nearly as good as in my established beds. Better get a soil
test. discovered a couple more white flies - gonna spray tomorrow!
Death to bugs!
