150 square foot contest- Entry 1.
I got a late start this year. I roasted this plant with too strong a dose of insecticide. It bounced back- mostly. I started backups, but they’re tiny and a month behind. The plant on the left is my 25x25 patch. A Gansert. The stakes on the right mark out the 10x15 with my 1360 Companion (Daletas x Wallace!!!!!). If I hadn’t roasted it- oh man. Will do more entries soon.

Here’s an old photo. I’ll try to find a new one. Look at that strange garden pest! So darn cute I don’t have the heart to keep it out.

Rough year for me, and especially for this poor 150ft contest contender. Here’s the patch. It’s about a month delayed. The fruit is set and maybe cantelope sized. The 10x15 patch is… well, it is what it is.

Here’s the fruit as of a couple days ago. It’ s a little sad in terms of size. I really regret the rookie move on the pesticide burn early on that set me back by weeks worth of growth. All that aside- I’m having fun this year. I’ll just see what comes of each of these two plants. This 150ft plant won’t be any kind of contender and neither will the other- but they’ll still be the biggest in town, a beautiful sight for the fall, and just overall fun.

I forgot to mention: this is my 150 sq foot patch. In the background are my 16’10” sunflowers.
