1.5 inches Sunday, 6/10ths today. Here is PTT planted 8/11, pic today. Golfball sized. I know, the 90's called and they want their flip phone back.
Thats great growth for just a month. Adding much for fertilizer or just optimal growing conditions and fertil soil?
Lol, about the phone comment. Nice, I wish I could get a good rain for a change...front went through last night and went from 90 to 50 and only dropped .25"...WTF?
Covey, Any truth to this potential root fungus with turnips planted every year? I've done this for 15 years and no problems so far. I thought You would know about this. Thx
Do you do any kind of summer/spring seeding...typically the fungus occurs only if nothing but root brassicas are planted without anything else. I have heard of guys never experiencing it while others after just 3 years.
I don't have any experience with it personally, I have read some about it just never have known of it to happen in my plots. Then again I rotate my plots and plot species around from year to year. Most of the diseases and even bugs are a problem purely from stacking the same crop on the same soil year after year. Pumpkins are a good example...I don't care how "resistant" any particular strain of pumpkin is, if they are planted in the same field for more than three years, powdery mildew will become a problem (which is a fungus also). Same with corn, beans, etc, etc.. BTW, starting to see a lot of bucks in all of my fields now!
