Both the 1063 and 895 are showing signs of life.

I am very proud of the 895, a 12 year old seed.

Unfortunately the weather is not cooperating. It is to wet to till the patches and to windy to put the poly tunnels up.

So, I am drinking tea and waiting.

[oweno]

Still drinking tea and waiting. Every day rain.

Tomorrow I might get a chance to put the tunnels up, but the patch is very wet. Will take at least 4 days till I can work it.

Still plenty of time, no worries here.

I want to thank Matthias for volunteering to be the Lautre GPC rep. I will assist him this year. Would be really nice if we could rotate this responsibility every year to another grower, I am sure we are all willing to assist, after all we all get something from going to the weigh offs, one person should not have that burden every year.

thanks Matthias.

[oweno]

I got the tunnels up, I will work the patch with my tiller in 3-4 days.

Time for drinking tea is over.

[oweno]

Final decisons have been made, my 3 main patches get the following:

Tonight we will get frost, I have covered all my plants with straw, would like to know what others are doing.

Danke Owen für den Hinweis, ich hätt nicht dran gedacht da die Vorhersage bei uns 2-3 ° bringt, aber das ist ja in 2m Höhe ,am Boden unten könnts schon kritisch werden.

Da sie noch zu Hause dichtgedrängt im Container stehen s: : Folie drüber und Teelichter reinstellen.

Lost the main vine on the 1381 over night. About the last 15 cm broke off.

Every year is a challenge and this year is no different.

[Jan]

Im Gewächshaus? Wie konnte das denn passieren?

[oweno]

The plant is very aggressive, was growing too fast.

And I had staked it down yesterday, it had grown over 15 cm overnight.
