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.

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:
