Sounds like the fourth of July's might live up to their name. ![[thumb]](im/graemlins/thumb.gif)

I actually have a Brandywine with flowers already. ![[clappy]](im/graemlins/claps.gif)
I planted on May 7th which is early for this area, but I used wall o waters and planted on the south side of my house. The plants are growing so fast. The holes have epsom salt, egg shells, fertilizer and are filled with compost. I am trying to avoid blight by not planting in the garden.
