Wednesday, January 10 View Page To start out the 2024 season it was time to cut down the fourth mustard crop I’ve grown over the last year. Happy new year to all!   Wednesday, January 10 View Page A couple gallons of water to seep deep into the soil and build a nice crust! No plastic on this one! lol   Wednesday, January 10 View Page A couple more disease fighting things to do, then a couple months before grow time billions and billions of good guys will be added to the Soil when I lightly till in my Compost. Seeds get started the day I come back from vacation on April 5 or 6th.   Wednesday, January 10 View Page A couple more disease fighting things to do, then a couple months before grow time billions and billions of good guys will be added to the Soil when I lightly till in my Compost.

I want a couple pumpkins that can be pushed and I feel especially strong about the 2183 and the 1953 the amazing 1977 Glenna may also make the cut.:) Good luck to everyone as we continue prepping our patches and getting ready for the gross season.   Wednesday, December 4 View Page Time to start the 2025 growers diary. Mustard is growing well and the new chemical plan is all written out. I spent an hour on the phone with Harry from western labs and we identified all the diseases I am always dealing with and came up with a new biological and chemical treatment plan that should really help! I’ve been pushing hard against fusarium and Harry has me now pushing harder against Pythium and Phytophthora. Let’s see how things work out because my numbers are all still through the roof!??   Friday, December 13 View Page 2025 but no disease getting to my stem. I’ll cut it off like I was told to do but I just couldn’t do it. It stayed in the mid 50s for 4 to 5 weeks and then the disease started working its way down the main until it hit my fruit.DMG
