Today I spent 2 hrs chatting with an old client about a couple jobs with a 40 minute round trip and wonder how I was able to grow anything when I was working

No idea. 3 hrs taken away in the middle of the day is difficult and now I'll probably be gone several hours tomorrow to do the work and/or Friday too as another client has a bathtub clog. Fun times.
What's really fun is watching a Granddaddy Purple develop

Flipped 10-7, 22 days since and 5 weeks to go. These are usually 56+/- days to finish but I let one go to 70 days last fall and I really liked it
Did you notice that moth egg? Every time I spray the plants there's always a small moth or 3 fluttering about around each plant

Very thankful for Bt
