First Female is here. Looks to be about 8' out. Videos of "The Notebook" worked. I'll back that off for now and switch to the original Star Wars trilogy to promote balanced growth. Kidding aside, I am pleased with the plants progress so far. I did a perimeter granule pesticide application yesterday. Soil was tilled in front of the advancing main with some light cow and leaf compost amendments. I am leaving my patch for 5 days to take care of matters out of town and am very nervous to see what will happen while I am gone. I don't really have anyone close by to watch over things but I have set up an automated irrigation system to deliver an even 3-5gal of spray at dusk every two days. I know that seems small but I'd rather under do it than over do it. Fingers crossed.
