LanTerra Update > a welcome day off from work has me out in patch # 1 rototilling this sunny afternoon. The 75* degree temperature is just fine for the fruit.
After Rototilling I spread over the remainder of patch a couple of pounds of the Sorghum/Sudan grass, variety Martin seed. Just now starting to break the surface from the first seeding batch from August 15th.
The sprinklers are running for about two hours every other day as the 898 and 1055* fruit continue to grow. They are bit behind the other Ontario growers that I know of. However they always have been slightly behind. I'm happy with the pace as I hope to get the 998 fruit to 400" and the 1055* fruit to 365". I am pretty confident that they will also weigh heavy to chart based on the results we've seen so far in ontario. Both of these numbers should place me high up the leader board in pumpkin and squash at Port Elgin.
From what I've heard of the GVGO patch tour. To place in the top ten at Port Elgin you will need to reach above at least 1200+
