Saw only one shooting star.

Deploying secret patch tricks now.

My Holland seed is continuing as a doubled vine. So we'll see what my 430 Clayton produces instead.
My daughter's: all 3 of her Holland plants look good, havent culled yet, but only one is pointed at the patch so picking hers will be easy. I could have run a strong secondary out from the base of my double vine Holland and that would have been fine. My hoop house was so large I could have planted four or more plants, and chosen the most promising. There was plenty of space to do so. Cold wet May but probably on track for a late June pollination.

Its hard to tell with the cool temps and dampness if there are soil imbalances. Im not sure if I did a tissue test if it would mean much due to the low transpiration rate in this weather. It could be misleading. I could do a soil test on my vine burying mix. That would probably make my season go better.
