Well if I am going to do a complete diary this year, I should put it in the right place. I will start over again here and try and keep it updated once a week. The first plant I have chosen because it is so aggressive to grow is the 1458 Kline. This is what it looked like when it was set out a week and a half ago. Even though I had tried to harden everything, it showed some sun damage.

I have protected it from the extra warm sun rays this week and the plant has settled in and started to grow in the new environment. May 27th
These are some of my other field pumpkins and marrows that I planted on May 28th and that is when this picture was taken
