Got bored yesterday, must have been the heat. Got the idea of a video diary, so i pulled out my phone and played hollywood. If anybody has a smart phone it was easy enough and would be pretty cool to see some other peoples patch in video form.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FVJZJU86BY you can see the diary here.

Hey Dennis, Thanks and I hope some others growers will do the same, it's just give a better view than pictures. Plus I can review them next year to compare the looks of vines and such.
Hey Nic, not sure why my vines grow big, did the same last year, and I'm growing differently this year. Must be this southern heat.
Dewight, weeds were a huge setback for me last year, this year I went with the black fabric and pinestraw. Still get some weeds, but I just try and stay on top of them. Hopefully keeping the weeds down might get me a extra pound or two.

They get music 24/7 with some yardsale outddoor speakers. 5 bucks for the speakers..........40bucks for the 300ft of speaker wire! However I love counrty music, I think I'm changing to rap, maybe gansta rap at that. Seems the deer love country music too. Maybe play "Ice, Ice baby" on repeat!
