So is anyone else in the patch multiple times a day begging their kins to keep going till weigh off/fair? I relized today iv been out their three times a day convincing them its the right thing to do. Just asking to see if I'm the only one who has totally lost it.

I've grown prizewinners for years-they may not be the big dog in the patch but they are hardy and beautiful color.Although they may stop putting on much weight by the end,they hang on and just get prettier.

Farming- a bunch of catastrophies that result in a lifestyle

If you took an arial shot you would see the beaten path from the house to the patch....looks a little like a deer trail

Saves those unnecessary trips to the house to check the OTT chart.

If you don't toss and turn at night a la Tom Privitera in "Lords of the Gourd", you're not normal. lol

Yes, I do get up at night to check my fruit in my bathroom and flip flops.
