Garden sprays work best with a wetting agent to reduce runoff and allow plants to absorb more nutrients. Coco-Wet, an organic wetting agent with no ionic charge, which allows Micronutrients and Fertilizer to work at peak efficiency.

My Thanksgiving Cactus is about 28 years old and did not bloom for many years as it was placed on a table with no sunlight. After a move to a south east window, it now blooms several times a year. I rarely fertilize it, just water once a week.

And then I moved back 20 years ago. I call New Richmond my home. We are well into March, the snow mostly melted and the growing season upon us; I am reminded of the song Edelweiss that I have sang my whole life (when no one is listening). You might catch me singing this song on the farm. :)   Sunday, March 15 View Page Proud of my new Vine Bury Tool :)   Tuesday, March 17 View Page A Gift of Gold from my favorite folks from Utah!

Thank you !!! :)   Monday, March 23 View Page This may be my smartest purchase this year.   Wednesday, March 25 View Page I have learned that it is best to replace the poly on the hoop houses every year as it gets brittle and may not withstand heavy winds. This is another cost (this role $35.00) and a little tedious work. Luckily, I have a carpenter friend who owes me a garden favor.   Friday, March 27 View Page Big day coming up soon !!! :)   Thursday, April 2 View Page Some friends home for the summer.   Thursday, April 2 View Page My five giant pumpkin growing areas for this year (not to scale).   Friday, April 3 View Page Struggling to germinate the 1479 :(   Sunday, April 5 View Page Easter and Spring is such a magical time of year.

They were up early Saturday a.m., I was busy at our SCGA/WGPG Grower's Meeting and did not take them off the heat and put under a grow light until evening, so three of them bolted; may need to redo. Two still have their heads stuck in the ground. The 8.41 MacCoy is perfect.   Thursday, April 16 View Page Getting things started. 4 of the 5 hoops have their new poly, maybe warm the soil some. Sprayed some molasses inside the hoops to liven things up. Areas #1 and #3 some weed killer today. Was hoping to spread amendments and till Sunday, but probably Tuesday due to rain. Growing happy :)   Saturday, April 18 View Page Two more trips to the U/W River Falls for the best composted manure in the world. I needed two additional yards. Should have everything I need to get the patches prepped, just need the weather to cooperate. Patience is not working well for me. Soil temp six inches in the ground in the hoops warming up to 60F+.   Sunday, April 19 View Page Sterilizing the seed start supplies. The bin on the left has my six tomatoes growing.

It has been dry this last week. Drench today. Hopefully not to too large of a thunderstorm hitting now.   Monday, May 4 View Page 4 of 6 backups made it to the grow light station. I had to help 3 with their coats just a little bit. It may have been impatience :) Although it is not going to come near frost tonight, I felt the plants enjoy the cooler cover inside the greenhouse for the extra warmth. A little fussy, but cozier. Good night ;)   Wednesday, May 6 View Page Neck And Neck   Thursday, May 7 View Page Second Set Backups all germinated. Not counting the 1479, this is 100% germination on seed starts.   Sunday, May 10 View Page On the farm, I can grow giant everything including giant weeds.

It will likely freeze tonight.   Thursday, May 14 View Page Jim Kunde from Baldwin, long time grower from the mid 90's, is starting up again and came out to the farm to pick some seeds and seedlings. Line up 1832, 1420, 1874, and 1625. Good Luck Jim !!! :)   Saturday, May 16 View Page Shortly after a foliar feed of TKO, Humic, Seacom and Coco-Wet.   Saturday, May 16 View Page Also sprayed Schultz House & Garden Insect Killer inside hoops as shut them.   Saturday, May 16 View Page Moved some dirt around. Knocked weeds down ... again. I generally end up with a mound around the base.   Saturday, May 16 View Page I look forward to cutting down the back up plants once the main takes it's walk.

A "Boost" Drench today for AG's and the giant tomatoes that are hardening off.   Sunday, May 24 View Page I should be posting a picture. Just busy doing so much. Four of five running (pun intended). First vine bury on 1916 FEELS SO GOOD. I will remember these words 1000's vine buries to come. 3/10" rain thus far. Wishing all Memorial Day Memoirs. :)   Monday, May 25 View Page Good end to a nice weekend. Surprise patch tour. Zywiec/Midthun/Ailts. Everybody looking good.   Monday, May 25 View Page Local competitor. Day in - Day out.   Thursday, May 28 View Page The Great Outdoors! It was a little too windy today and it will be a little too stormy tomorrow but the 1916 was begging to get out. Two side vines in a row on the same side, if you look close you can see the one wants to grow straight up in the air. I will unbury some of the main once the sides take off, get less perky and throw down some roots. 1916 is the winner here over 4 feet long.   Sunday, May 31 View Page Frost advisory ... SHOULD BE the last one early season.   Sunday, May 31 View Page Today, when I should have been working on my pumpkin plants, I was biking 23 miles on The Red Cedar State Trail in Menomonie, Wisconsin. Tonight, when I should have been going to bed early to get up early, early for work; I HAD to work on my pumpkin plants. Took all the hoops off, cut down the backups, pruned and buried, and bug spray. Nice effort on the bike and on the plants. It IS a race.   Monday, June 1 View Page LL's Tomatoes ... in the ground ... FINALLY. Six competition and 7 eating. I buried them deep and loaded 'em up with all the stuff. Those weeds should be dying soon.   Sunday, June 7 View Page Double selfie ...

Too soon, but good to see.   Monday, June 8 View Page Inspired by some local competitors !!! :)   Sunday, June 14 View Page I drug my hoops out for storage. They are heavy :) I was using them for additional wind block when the plants were smaller where I was short of wind fence. Now the wind fence can be repositioned I think for the final time this season.   Sunday, June 14 View Page All my plants are about the same stage with 8-10 sides with a female. The 1781 is the most condensed plant. Very healthy.   Sunday, June 14 View Page I am debating pollinating two of the bigger plants early and on three plants waiting for the next female with more sides. The 1916 is healthy also and one of my biggest plants. This one is in the new soil.   Sunday, June 14 View Page Of course, I can make some sides with tertiaries. The 2032 has been giving me some trouble as the growing area tends to get too windblown. I did have to cut out some broken leaves and sides earlier on this one.   Sunday, June 14 View Page The 2102 is a very tight plant and healthy. All of the plants have these tears you see in the forward leaf on occasion, not from bugs.   Sunday, June 14 View Page This plant is one of my largest and pretty healthy except the leaves have a tendency to burn. The male flowers should start opening.   Monday, June 15 View Page Long day at work. Walked around the patch amazed at all the growth since yesterday ... since this morning.

Luckily, only one of my outside vines was ripped up and tipped over about 10 leaves back, so far. I went to do some burying and it took a little work to right the vine and rebury it with the wind still blowing so strong. I was happy with my work and moved on to the next one. Looking back as another gust arrived to see it ripped up again. It made me laugh. I debated terminating the vine. I did rebury very well :)   Sunday, August 2 View Page Sinking Ship :( Does it help to cry? No. Estimated weight 943 my oldest and biggest.

Once again, we will be touring the patches of Lorelee Zywiec, Pete Midthun, & Chris Stevens/John Hopkins. While we recognize that this is the same lineup of growers as last year, we have chosen this group due to the fact that this will be John's last year growing pumpkins. John has generously agreed to host the post-tour reception at his place and we'd like to take the opportunity to celebrate his successes in the hobby. All the growers listed above have reported incredible pumpkins on the vine as of this writing. The growth season in and around the New Richmond area has been unbelievable. Thus, barring any unexpected losses, the pumpkin lineup in these patches are certain to impress. As we've done in the past, this will be a potluck event. Please bring a dish to pass and some lawn chairs. The club will provide grilled meat and beverages. If you'd like to attend, please rsvp to stcroixgrowers@gmail.com and we will email you directions and other details. Look forward to seeing you there! -Joe Ailts, President - SCGA   Sunday, August 9 View Page My friend Brie Quandrud growing her second year in Houlton Wisconsin ... 1718 is day 30 ... 1781 is younger.   Sunday, August 9 View Page 1738 is day 30   Sunday, August 9 View Page My 1916 x 2323 day 50 384OTT estimated 1220# still growing 35.8#/5 day average. You can see The Sinking Ship/King two stem issues and one blossom issue. It is not rotting, yet. It has had these issues since day 40 and packed on an estimated 397#'s in those ten days. The stem holes are dried and do not go through to the cavity. The blossom hole remains relatively the same but goes through to the cavity. My hope is the growth will close the blossom hole and make it a sound pumpkin. My goal is to keep it growing at this time. :)   Friday, August 14 View Page Big Sigh!

In the beginning, what a beautiful plant and was my oldest and largest pumpkin. Fate took a bad turn and a small hole near the blossom around day 60; however it continued to grow and I could not give up. Last Thursday it was finally clear it had been decaying from the inside out. Unfortunately, my waiting cost be the seed harvest on this one. Now it is rotting in the middle of my backyard. Too late to try to move ... oops ... yes ... it smells AWFUL ... omg ... funny. I have been busy the last couple days pulling the vines and clearing the patch. Some of the sidevines are bigger than my arm. The main and stem are crazy huge. I will try to get a photograph. I would grow the 1916 again without a doubt. I had pulled the 1756 backup ... hmmmmm!!! :)   Wednesday, September 23 View Page Queen. Doris.
