    Watching the world

    in Grower Diaries

    With weighoffs debatable

    And competitions in the air

    Now maybe the time to try

    Tecniques kind of "out there"


    Swinging for the fences

    Hoping nothing goes pop

    Have taken "Coaches" advice

    At pollination all 'growth was stopped'


    The theory makes sense

    'Lengthen the days to divide'

    Extenuating conditions though

    Can reduce your overall size


    No fear no worries

    Of fame in the fall

    No record breakers here

    No extra shopping at the mall


    Beetles and borers

    Have taken over the plants

    The size of the fruit will suffer

    At the end of this dance


    With holes in the vines

    And leaves bearing curls

    Housing bees on the property

    Has made me a little more conscious of our world


    (1217 Jarvis @ 600lbs)

    (1167 jarvis* gota be 500;)

    (Priorities in a pandemic)

    (Food over fame;)
