LanTerra Update > More rototilling and more rototilling. after two full days I'm still not yet finished all of the patch areas. Good news is the electricity is turned on and I will begin to work on the water soon.

The hoop houses are built and waiting to go as each of the three AGP planting sites are now ready and raring to go. At home will grow the 998 Pukos in the prime spot in patch 3 which has produced the Woodbridge winner and the near record 1073* two years ago. Also at home in patch 2 will be the WR producer 1055* Pitura and my own 752* Landry 07 848* x 1420 LaRue.

As several growers have tried to blend in some size genetics into the 848* seed line this is my attempt to get a true green squash with a larger case size with shallower ribs. The 1055* fits the bill as it tends to grow nice a smooth pumpkin with shallow ribs. Crossed with the 752* it might result in something larger with vigor.
