Nice growing weather today.   Friday, July 26 View Page Look what just rolled it.   Friday, July 26 View Page Crapbeans   Monday, July 29 View Page 681 taped 202 OTT yesterday at day 22. She got beat up on stem side due to that nasty hail from Friday. Plant is beat up, but she's still packing the pounds on. Not sure how this will end up. Really late to the party the 1742 looks like it took an open pollination from 7/27. Gut wrenching what a hail storm can do. Will be time to take next year off to work on the soil and configure a good cover of hail netting.   Tuesday, July 30 View Page Day 24 for 681 OTT212 as of this morning.   Tuesday, August 6 View Page Day 32 for 681   Sunday, August 11 View Page 681 274"OTT..   Monday, August 19 View Page The hydrangeas sure are pretty this time of year   Monday, August 19 View Page 681 is a beauty as well   Sunday, August 25 View Page Day 51 on the 681 315OTT   Wednesday, August 28 View Page Real late to the party here is the open pollinated 1742.
