I've always felt there are two season's to growing an Atlantic Giant- first you grow the vine then you grow the fruit after pollinating. The plant or vine are a finicky and sometimes brittle plant that grow fast, are tempermental and love water, warmth and lots of food.The plant in this image is a 866 BISS. It sits in my 5'x 5' mini greenhouse and it looks like all is going well on this day.The image was taken a couple days ago; today the plant is 1/3 again as big-they can really grow quite quickly. I wasn't too thrilled with my last batch of compost tea. I may need to redine the exact measurements of the ingredients-worm castings, compost, manure & molasses.

Only a brave man would attempt to grow an Atlantic Giant in Seattle. Regradless of what the weather forecasters say, today looks to be another cloudy, cool day. I hope that mini greenhouse generates a lot of heat. I hope summer really arrives next week!
