Mine are about a week behind of my AG's because I had to go with backups but they are doing great. Pics are in my diary. 1195 Holub competing against a 1401 Jutras for growing rights.

I have 4 1844's and one of them is a real stand-out: very aggressive and the second biggest plant in my patch right now. I will cull down to one in the next 10 days.

My squashes survived their first night in the patch and are looking good.

I'm a little late getting on here this year! Changed my group name from Big Show Dog. I have a couple again this year. One from my 498 last year, and my other plant that I hope to get a green is actually a kin seed, 784 Cantrell '14. Plants are in the patch with a back up. I expect them to be down within a week.

My squashes are 6 days old in the patch. The Porkchop is growing a lot faster than the Weibel even when the Porkchop is just 2 days older. Had to pinch off flower buds on Porkchop, plant is too young for that and needs to develop its roots first.

1844's improving from a slow start, little bit kinky though. 1262's OK but a little slow as they have no artificial heat helping them along but I'm happy.

My squashes have been in the patch for two weeks. The 890.5 Porkchop's main vein is also almost a foot long. The 513.5 Weibel's main vein is about 6" long and starting to try to grow backwards because it is growing vertically.

Had a mishap with my squashes back on Monday with my hot houses rolling on them. Tired to use the hot houses to block the wind, but they were not secured enough. The squashes survived with just a little bit of damage and they are still growing. The Weibel is trying to grow backwards on its self and the Porkchop has main vine is almost 2' long.

I have 1578 holub and the 812 jutras going both about 1.5 ft long and are laying down and ready to rock. The roots on the 812 are already trying to sneek out of the hoop. Both of have grown 900 lbers for us in previous years.

Joe Jutras deserves to break the greenie world record if there is any justice in this world! I have one 1844 holub going & it looks great. I only deserve to be about 10th in the world for my effort.

My squashes got some hail damage from the storms that came thru two days ago, but they are doing ok.
