The picture is my two yardcats, usually only the front one (Copernicus or Cussuss the short haired) is there to have a running monologue while I am communing with the vines.

I have an ERROR... Last night I reported Freddie at 207.5" OTT and 198.5#... which would have made a gain of 18.5# in one day which was far and above any growth per day it's ever shown. Apparently I had a tape twist or something on the SS measurement. Plus it was incredibly muddy and a real non-delight to go out there... so.

Tonight it taped 53.75" ss 60" ee and 91.75" cir for 205.5" OTT and a total of 193# .. and for two days a gain of 13# is more in line with it's average gains. Phew. So Matt, have another day or two before it hits 208 OTT/200# and a few more for 217 OTT/225# which is what I'm aiming for in case it goes light.

I DID get the far side windbreak fence peeled back and the nortside secondaries which have grown wild and free (four of them)cut back on that side, allowing me into the center of the patch and at the shelters more easily now... and a few more severed vines will allow a straight out carry of Freddie to the back gate and alley. I left those as they do provide late day sun shade to the shelter over Freddie.
