Determination... that's what will win it!

The aphids are gone, the maters are strong and Ella has a new look of determination.  Check out the size of those maters.  Rosie is in the middle and up to the 4th rung on the large cage.  All green, healthy and ready to rock!



We have about 4 large maters on each plant and another 6-8 smaller ones.  Lots of buds, flowers and mater sprouts, but there's just too many to count to give you actual numbers.  All I can say is these guys are looking good.



Not pictured here are Cranberry and Red.  Yesterday afternoon they were past the point of recovery and beginning to attract bugs and disease.  For the benefit of the others we said our good-byes.  We will remember them fondly.  Ella is so good at her expressions, this is "sad face".  To prevent future "sad faces" the Investor has been completely banned from the side yard.  (You think I'm kidding, but I'm actually serious.  When he gets out his products, I follow him around.  Wouldn't you?)


On a happier note Cherry made it!  She made a full recovery and is doing well.  She will be an asset to our team over the next month.  We're glad she's back!

Maters looking great. Sorry about the passing of two of your competitors. Ella looks like she has been trained as a guard dog. She looks determined to keep any further harm from falling upon your maters.

I will get some photos and a posting out soon. Been very busy with photos and video projects that pay in cash. Beer efforts are fun but have to come after the real green stuff!

Yeah take those cash jobs, you are going to need to have some handy to buy my beer!
