fuk em!...let's make JonviDrool Chocolate Lager™...I'll take care of the marketing for just a teensy share of the business (say...um...42%).

gots a brother named Jim in RENO, soon be retired from the replacement window business, just started a cocktail accompaniment products business centered on dilled & spiced green beans (great as swizzle sticks & replacing celery in BMs)...I suggested he name the company JIM BEAN. He chickened out, for some reason, and went with another name.

Your brother strikes me as a smart man. :D

Jonvidrool.......I would like to ask your brother on this one too.

^^^^I've tilled in the first round of compost. Plants go in next week and I still have a lot of work ahead to get the ground plant ready. It's getting there though.

I didn't like the lack of consistency of ground quality between the different rows so I decided to plow out the rows one more time and add in more compost.

Post 27 is the row being dug out.

Post 28 is the compost going back in.

I'll cover that and re-till it all together and should have a decent product at that point....ready for planting.

Looks like you've got the picture thing down. :thumb:

Yeah man....getting there. It's not a perfect science. After selecting a picture, most times I don't get the option to upload the full image or thumbnail. But I keep trying and eventually the gods feel sorry for me.

Some of the plants are doing well. This variety is called Centennial.

They had a slow start but I think this row is starting to take hold.

Fuggle.

The Cascade is struggling big time. At first I thought I was going to see losses in excess of 50 percent, but maybe they've turned a corner.
