The yard is looking fantastic on this glorious morning. Toby scouts the yard with his mom and dad. One day after the summer solstice and so many varieties have hit the 18 foot wire, as we'd hoped. Post solstice,the plants will change their focus from growing up to growing out. Side arms will continue to develop as will buds, burrs, then cones. Different varieties are at different stages of this development already. A couple Ultra plants have cones! Find them in the slideshow. The first cones of 2015!
