LanTerra Update > All things are good here at home. I finally got the rototiller fixed and finished all three patches today. I have a nice sore back that I'm nursing with a few brown bottles late this afternoon.

A picture of my favourite book, Teaming with Microbes. It is a must read for all pumpkin growers.

The weather here has been cool the last three days and I managed to recover two of the plants at home. I seam to be way behind every one else around me. I know Jordan and Phil Hunt have me smoked and by the look of John Vincent's patches he has got me beat by a wide margin. I am not too worried by the slow pace yet just hoping for warmer weather.

The storms here at home were pretty gentle by what struck the rest of the province. I have no damage at all.

There has been no return of the cuc's or squash bugs I guess due to the chilly last few days.

Vine burying is going well using the AM120 product at home and Bio-endo at Cornerstone.

I have no luck with watermelons and have lost two of them and killed another plant with a spray that I used on the AGP's. I reserved lots of room for they and no the patch sits empty. Buckwheat will go in soon.
