Thursday, January 1 View Page Cover crop on the new patches looks to be doing well so far, granted it was early December 2025 when I finished my first round of amendments and got the cover crop planted. It's a mix of winter wheat and winter rye. Lots of amendments and soil prep needed here. It's been years since anything has been grown here, if ever! Happy New Year! Friday, January 2 View Page So, I'm at it again.. Experimenting with my indoor cutting clones. Decided to try and pollinated a giant squash to see if I can keep it going, indoors, on very low nutrition and less than idea conditions. This is the 1844.5 Holub 2016, and I pollinated it with 3 male flowers from my 1885.5 Werner 2019. Yes a hybrid cross, but a fun project! Tuesday, January 6 View Page So it's aborting already. This tells me that I need to modify my winter feed to help promote fruit set and growth. I already have a new recipie ready to try on the next one that opens for pollination! :) Thursday, January 8 View Page We had a pretty nice day today. I finally got a chance to inoculate my winter cover crop with some mycorrhiza! Sunday, January 11 View Page Changed my indoor feed mix since the last try aborted. Pollinated this one on Jan.11, 2026. Hopefully she doesn't abort! (1109 Jutras 2019 x 2365 Wolf 2021) Fun winter projects! Thursday, January 15 View Page My 2026 Patch Layout... Thursday, January 15 View Page Update on my indoor overwinter Giant Squash project.. She is now DAP 4 in this picture and doesn't show any signs of abortion yet! Hopefully she holds!
