The 1068 Papez is 21 days old now. First measurements Cir. 69, s-s 54 e-e 52 175" total est. 124#. Not a great start, but it still has 2 months to grow. it has really picked up the past couple of days. The groundhog damages seems to have healed over. The 1096.5 Privitera on the back secondary is about 40# now. That plant was really set back by the groundhogs, not to mention the wet weather. The plants are looking a little yellow, so they will get a shot of fertilizer. I am making my first batch of compost tea, to be applied tomorrow. Weather report for tomorrow is terrible; high humidity, temp. around 95, heat index aroun 115. The patch is starting to dry out (finally) so it will be a test of the plants root systems.
