Hello to All,
Lowered my racks this morning and here are the data. Rack 1 - 42 young and 49 fledglings, Rack 2 - 45 young and 48 fledglings and Rack 3 - 36 young and 40 fledglings. So I have 123 young still gourd-bound and 137 youngster that are airborne. Plugged 15 gourds as I lowered the racks today to prevent "premature test flights."
Happy Martining, Mike
