Summer 2025

[Mark_Thompson]

The corn has been harvested (well halfway), the cover crops are getting cut and tilled in to break down, the cherry tomato seeds have been planted, it’s starting to look a lot like summer. I’ve got plans for a big wild cross grow out, some cherries on cages, then my slicers on single stem L/L, won’t be starting those for a while yet in order to hit the longest driest days (theoretically).

She will be great! Don’t worry about it. With the multi cross what growth habit am I to expect again? Just want to place it correctly

@Homegrwoninillinois Normal indeterminate with kind of weak whispy oxheart type leaves. But also with the caveat that it’s only an F3 and one of the parents wasn’t stable yet, so who knows…

No worries. I’ll put it on the outside edge of my indeterminates. In case I end up with a shorty or something.

Having on site Bamboo to harvest is priceless.

Better yet, that’s at my dad/brother’s house. So they get the never ending headache of battling the spread, and I get to go cut when I need

Some Indigo Orange Supertress, another monster Guido at 1-5 oz, and Violet Heart. Still valiantly holding off the disease in spite of a few inches of rain last week.
