2000 Growers Log - May

May 11th - A beautiful spring day!

Does the photo above look familiar? If it does, chances are you were reading my web page a year ago. The entry for May 12th 1999 shows the same thing, wet snow.

digging a hole

Despite the snow, the plants are doing well. I was later getting started this year so the plants are not as large as last years at this point. I have a backup Mombert 800.5 being direct started in the soil about 18 inches to the left of the seedling shown above.

mixing soil and manure

Again, the Lloyd 935 is not as far advanced as the plants I had a year ago, but it is starting to grow more rapidly now. Both plants are being watered with fertilizer now ( 1 tbs miracle grow per gallon water)
