We’re in the ground! (in the greenhouse), the 2015 Ford ’20 (just plain BIG) heading due west at the camera and the 1464 Brown (2019 HD Winner) heading east. Avoided 2 major planting catastrophes – not breaking a stem dropping a plant out of the pot upside down by placing it in the planting hole can cutting off the bottom with a box cutter an up the side, carefully removing the plastic pot and triple inspecting the first true leaf to be sure it was planted in the intended direction of growth. Or maybe I’m the only one to ever have made that mistake and had to lift the plant and rotate it so it did start climbing the fence 2” behind itself.
My seedlings don’t look nearly as nice as most shown on other diaries – but then, who would show a spindly example such as mine? My back up candidates don’t look much better. May wind up planting the 6 footer.
