Jim,

Any of the vinning plants tend to eat up a lot of space. If you have a fence or trellis set up it's easier to keep them controlled.

They climbed right over 2 3ft barriers and then a 2 ft and one is now 15 ft out into the other area.
Not sure where it's heading-though I'm thinking it heard head west young plant.
I think the growth was a foot a day on the last burst.
on the other end I had lost my 2 vertical climbers to squash vine borer, which was a shame as they climbed up 9ft and were bearing some great sized fruit.
 

One of the two potato plants died/dried back completely .
Dug one potato bout the size of an egg. There was another smaller than a marble near it.
Guess no root cellar is needed this month.:laughing7:

Had that happen one year, marbles, peas, golf ball size was big. Great in a stew, no cutting required.:laughing7:
 

Ah Steve Nicks, the only performer that made more pit stops during a concert than any other performer I have ever seen. But back in the day she was what she was and that was a tad hot.
 

Good morning Jim! :hello:
 

Arrrg... overslept.

Morning.
 

Morning ARC, Jim, Ethan & rook. :wave:

Funny... because I couldn't sleep.
 

Morning AARC, Rusty, Rook
 

Morning RR, AARC, Dave and pepperj.
 

Morning Pepper... Anti... Rusty... Rook.
 

We had the field cut, and started to figure out the berry plot angles.
Buddy figures where I plan to put it we might end up with a gravity water feed from the pond-that would be great. Soaker hoses and drip lines would really cut down the watering needs.
I'm switching out all the sugarbush tap lines to a smaller size, so I'll have all the lines and taps to rejig for the drip lines.
Want not-waste not.

I finally sourced some fencing supplies but it will take a road trip to Toronto (GTA) to pick it up tomorrow.
Something I'm not all giddy about either pulling the 16ft car hauler for 7hrs of driving.
I called up an old mate and caught up on the last decade-he has a 12KW diesel generator for sale, so I'll pick that up as well since I'm almost on the doorstep.

This will supply emergency power for the house and a main power supply for my 40'x80' shop.
I'll install a bank of batteries for LED lighting in the shop and then I'll be all set.
I could of ran power to it 5yrs ago, except the fact we get charged a rural demand for power-even if we don't turn on a light switch.
So in what the demand charges would have been over the years added up this well pays for the generator.

So I guess I'll clean out the truck-I wonder what I'll find.:laughing7:
Prepare trailer for the haul-might even check the lighting system and tires.:icon_scratch:
