First Post - decided to go minimalist adamants this season - can't justify the outcomes with the time and energy. 900 sq ft patch. Just tilled in 20 lbs of 10-10-10, some aluminum sulfate for acid and a sprinkle of Boron and Manganese because I had left over in the garage from previous years. As usual, will add to each buried node 50% 10-10-10, 20% kelp meal, 20% mycorrhizae, 10% Jack soluble - start of season 20-20-20, midseason 10-30-20 and end 0-0-30. Now, if I can only find my seeds.

Day 3 post-emergence 2004 Bernstrom by 2749 Gienger X 2501 Bernstrom and an 1844 Caspers by 2025 Rodenbaugh X 2501 Bernstrom. Never had seedlings grow this fast. Great genetics here. Now if I only don't screw it up (again). Late start but the weather has been really screwed up for weeks.

Sorry for the absence. Busy with roses, veggie garden and dahlias and a couple of college grads 300 miles apart. Should already be 10-12' long and have a lot of male flowers. Day 27, a week after adding 1762 Basset (2480 Grahamx2610 Petrelli) for insurance. Also started a 1915 Noel '21 seed (2294Noel x 2058Noel) - not emerged yet for further insurance again stepping on one of the above (again). Late start due to bad weather and upcoming summer schedules. Plenty of great genes in the patch this year.
