 Our field continues to mature as evidenced by the
leaf yellowing. You will be surprised how fast the leaves yellow and
drop over the next two weeks or so. Have you started to think about
when we will harvest this field? I wanted to take pictures last
Friday, but it was raining to hard. It rained about 0.55 inches.

 Our
row is yellowing and dropping leaves a little faster than the rest
of the field. The reason is we are handling the plants more
than surrounding plants. Otherwise these plants are maturing
normally. There are a few insects still feeding on the plants. Click
here to see these insects.

 Our
first plant's leaves are turning yellow and a few have dropped to
the ground. But there are quite a few leaves that are still green.
|
 The
second plant is maturing like our first plant. As I mentioned
before, the plants in this row have more yellow leaves than
surrounding plants. We will have to quit putting the poster board
between the plants, otherwise they will break when we try to pull
them apart.

 These
pods have started to change colors. They will continue to lose their
green color and turn a tannish-brown color. Notice how green the
plants are in the background.
