Nice; had seen the trenches in grower diaries, but wasn't sure of their purpose. Definitely something I'll adapt to my plant. My 1478.5 Clementz is up and growing, btw! Thanks again for the seeds.

I had a good question asked of me from this video.When do we start keeping the stump dry.From what I'm told the stump cover & keeping stump dry go in place mid to late June.If there are any other opinions on this please share.

We haven't had a good rain in 2 weeks,so I have been giving the kins more water farther out.The 1067.5 Kent is on fire.I put 5 gallons of water in a trench 2 feet out and I watered the center a few times with a couple liters of water.It does take a lot to get down 8-10 inchs & more,with no rain.

Good day .I live in Northern British Columbia Canada and have been getting 6-8 pound daily wait gain on my GA Pumpkin however for the last 2 weeks the weather has been very wet and cool and the pumpkin has not gained a pound in a week .Does wet cool weather effect pumpkins to the point where they stop growing? The plant looks good and so does my pumpkin put no growth ;Commits please
