Good thing there is no real official competition going on this year, or I would have needed to fold to Richmond Dave in advance after I just saw his diary entries. This is our best plant right now, the 1928.5 Daletas. I guess I’m gonna need to build bigger hoophouses (like Richmond Dave) install soil cables (like Richmond Dave) put in some serious drip tape (like Richmond Dave).

Instead we opted not to put in our heat cables (lazy NSBoyz), we used small hooptie-houses (lazy NSBoyz), and we like our current overhead water system and opted not to use drip tape (also lazy NSBoys...looks like too much work), and finally we also use a vine burying mix for initial vine maintenance, but I’ve adopted the Spambie way to bury vines and just dig a trench and then kick some soil over them when they fall into the trench....again lazy NSBoyz.

Oh well, I’ll still prolly give ole Richmond Dave a bit of a run for the money at the scale anyways. We will be going ahead with an Island Weighoff, not sure what’s happening in Vancouver or Washington State this year in terms of Weigh-Offs so it might be pretty easy to lure Dave and Janet over to Vancouver Island.
