Well the crop did improve some, but certainly no prize winning plants here. Most of my virginia are still only a foot tall at most, but i think its the soil, as i didnt get to spread cow manure or anything. PA RED for the most part are doing the best, huge leaves and flowering at 5 feet. Aztec rustica is all hanging now, by the stalk, leaves are too small to prime (time issues). Little dutch is well, little, but yellowing at bottom, so started priming along with harrow velvet and VBL.
Just in the past week i been noticing a lot of holes on leaves, but couldn't find a hornworm anywhere till yesterday, but only found two and drowned them. What i did find though, are a lot of grasshoppers..... what would you guys recomend to get rid of them? Considering i am priming already, i won't worry about them this year i think, but it might be a good idea to be prepared next season.
Also in the process of finishing building a curing barn, complete with outside wood heat with flue running through the barn. Barn is 15x14 feet and roof peak is at 10 feet.
