Can you tell I have been removing leaves?
Plant in pic 3 has been dug up and moved to a dark room. Plants 1 & 5 are in a race to the finish line, while 2 & 4 are just plugging along.
I cant believe this, 100% females with regular seed (cept 1 fem seed), last year was the year of the male here. I was prepared to chop some down, but I'll take all females!
Grasshoppers are horrible this year, if only I still had chickens, but the critters around me say no you can have them. 2 of the Black Willies got topped by hoppers (now headless).
I hope we dont get an early freeze, but fear we will. I have read 3 different future casts, 1 said normal, 1 said cold to the point of -40*F for the northeast with lots of rain/snow by thanksgiving, while the other said warm and dry. WTF!
