Chris L ... 2017 Diary
After a very wet and cold start it looks like there may be some hope to a good season. Just have to survive the chance of frost tonight. The biggest 2145 McMullen plant is way out of the hoop house and it looks like a June pollination will happen this season.

The Royal Winter Fair was a great success with a great giant pumpkin show. I managed a second place behind Jim and Kelsey Bryson.
The giant vegetable entries were way down this year. A few regular growers did not attend this year. Hope to see them back next year.
My Kolhrabi came in first at 33.6 lbs. It was the only one entered
Phil and Jane Hunt's parsnip was a winner at 9.8 lbs. The parsnip will be the feature vegetable next year
I was able to get the compost spread and the patch tilled after a few dry days and just in time. Looking forward to 2018. Best of luck to everyone next season.
