The 193 Sherwood plant. In the upper left picture I have removed some AG leaves from the AG companion plant. I may send these for testing to see what nutrients I can add more of, I can already guess that I wont be adding more potassium or nitrogen.

I was already tempted to throttle these plants back this week, just so that I would not get behind on pruning. But thats a poor approach to competitive growing. I will continue to try to push them full throttle and maybe only ease off if things look really good in August. At some point, you dont try to fix what aint broke. Not quite at that point yet. I even added a little more nitrogen today despite knowing they have plenty.

Note the bushel gourd leaves are almost as large as the AG leaves. And some of the secondary vines are large, almost like AG vines! Maybe this is a good sign... I aint complainin.
