I thought they had not grown due to transplant shock and total cloud cover 24/7 but comparing pic from 5 days ago and now they have grown for sure

Planting Out
I have set 24 yesterday and today and feel wore out. My 81 yr old neighbor who is rawhide and a seasoned gardener set 350 plants some Mon and the rest Tues. He is unbelievable. Took radiation for a spot on his lung couple months back but you would never know it. Nice weather here along the Ohio River. Have 60 plants to go. Waiting for my son to get up so I can use the tiller. Its all good.

Planting Out
Put three more rowes of 8 each in today and ran the tiller in the just right damp earth. At one point I got a perfect sniff of damp earth and it reminded me of days gone by. I had not smelled that in a long time. Its what its all about. Dig dirt. Make hole. Insert little plant. Then watch.

Another update to compare at day 1 planted out, 5 days later and todays photo, 6 days later again.
Have several open flowers on the sungold now and pollinated some with electric toothbrush. No open flowers on Gardeners Delight at all yet so they are lagging behind in production interestingly. But the 5 Gardeners Delight on the left look to have denser growth and the Sungold more open and elongated growth pattern. 001.jpg 001 (3).jpg 001 (4).jpg Last edited by xellos99; May 7, 2019 at 09:49 AM. |
