Well, after a year off the time has come!!! Most close to me know but for those that don’t, last year I midway through the season I was laid on my back for 2 months with pneumonia. In and out of the hospital and by far was the sickest I have ever been. So July and august I didn’t go to the patch once. I was either in bed or in the hospital. Once better sometime in September a couple local growers came to help me try to salvage my season and they did an amazing job!! Thanks guys and you know who you are!!!
It was an absolute jungle in the greenhouse and they spent hours cleaning up things and making the plants look halfway decent!!! All that happen while I was gone for those 2 months was water on a timer and that’s it. We still ended up with one at 1483 and the other 1109,,, the 1109 had stem rot in July so I knew it wouldn’t do much.
After fully recovering I decided to take 2020 off and just grow mustard after mustard crop. I did 2 crops that touched the top of the greenhouse, cut down, tilled in, watered heavy then followed that crop with another mustard crop the same size. Honestly, taking a year off was really nice!:):)

Well, it’s now 2021 and I’m ready for the madness again! This crop will get tilled in soon then it’s planting time!!! I can’t wait, we’ll be finishing the documentary this year and I just can’t wait to get into the dirt again!!!!

Thanks for the calls, emails and text while I was down!!

2021 here we come!!!
