Man if It's like this, this winter, and It's all snow, Were screwed!
It's over due for a hard winter, heavy snow season here, hope this isn't a precursor.

I hope mine take off like that. Looking good.
Heck yeah, good job. It's still been raining here. I'm watching and listening to a storm going to the north of me right now. If I can stay dry tonight, I might be able to get some plants in the ground tomorrow and some more BT sprayed. The worms have invaded me. Maybe 5-6 plants with aphids, but the bud worms are tearing me up. I keep picking them off, but must be missing the eggs, they keep showing up. The BT I sprayed the other day must have washed off. One rain after another.

Thanks DGBAMA,
I sure hope you guys get some dryer weather.
When the weathers right, I sware you can damn near watch'em grow.
Thanks man.
I hear you brother, It's been peat and repeat on the spraying.
I'm going to let it dry good today, then when their out of the sun this evening, get a good spray on them that wont get washed off in a hour.

Keep the faith my Southern brother! We have a lot longer growing season than our northern cousins. We'll be topping and growing sucker crops when they're finished hanging in the barns.

Thats a mighty fine looking patch there Mark. I like the week by week grouping of photo's, It kind of puts things into context.

Took these before I sprayed soap water on them today.
Not sure if the little white things are baby aphids, different type of aphid, or something else sucking on them, didn't know they had legs till I zoomed in on them.
Also some Aztec flowers, nothing messes with the Aztec.
Some other flower buds from some different strains get covered though.
The flower head pictured that is covered with them is Izmir.
And the last picture is some kind of larva, not sure what.
The small tear opposite of the larva, on left side of mid rib, is from a sparrow claw, for a size comparison of larva. (also on Izmir)
Out of the ten strains that I planted,
The worse for aphids are, Izmir, Shirey, Florida Sumatra, and Silver River.
The others have a few, but nothing like what's pictured.
I'll see how the soap does now that it won't get washed.
Anything not bagged with open bloom is not for seed, just letting some of each flower, some topped, for comparison of leaf size, and any other differences.

I always thought they was baby afids. But was afraid to ask.

Thanks Chillarbee,
The week by week was just for fun I did last year, but now I use it for a year by year comparison.
Not sure if i'm growing tobacco, or a insect farm.

I think the damn things are born pregnant, what ever they are.
Amazing photos. I particularly like the pollen-covered bee butt.

Don't know about the rest but the small insects I have seen on my silver river have been dead and stuck to the leaves nothing seems to live on them.

That's weird a out the Silver River. The aphids haven't touched mine.

How big are they right now?
These Silver Rives were taken at 6/25/2013, five weeks after planting, and they were still bug free.
Basicly they all were.
From that point on, if you got them, you'll start seeing them.
Now that I think about it, that's around time I started seeing them last year.

My Big Gem seems to get aphids quite easy, but not this year not a single aphid on any of them. I haven't lost touch with the sprayer this year.
