The grow hut is working great its not fancy there's even a lot of holes in the plastic, but thats ok the holes keep it from getting too hot. I put two layers on at night so a long as the holes dont align the warmth is somewhat trapped.

I fed various forms of nitrogen today with the thought that I might leave the plants uncovered when it rains to give them some healthy natural irrigation. The extra nitrogen may allow them to bounce back quicker after being cold.

There's no differences between the 193 Sherwood and the 243 Brown, other than the 193 has a slightly thicker vine. I'm trying to observe the plants closely to see if there are genetic differences. The only way to make progress in breeding is if there are some genetic differences.

Oh and on the right is my main gardening tool... lol. Mow! Then solarize! Its definitely easier than tilling.

A lawnmower creates worm food but a rototiller... only creates bird food.

..One feeds the soil life and the other chops it up. But of course solarizing kills a lot of the good guys, so who am I to talk. For me solarizing gets rid of the "bad guys" and I think the worms mostly survive.
