Gentle little Booh Bear (993 Vincent-McGill)
has been porkin' out in the honey pot.
At 30 days his tummy has swelled
to 120" with a total OTT of 277
or 472 pounds by my old chart.
Keep it up little bear!

BoohdahMan (1622 Young) has no
respect for the law of gravity (or any other law for that matter)....
You better straighten up and fly
right buddy or I'll jam this stick so far up your big white hiney
that they'll call you BoodahKabob!

This spring we had several
weeks of daily blustery winds right after I let my plants out of the clotch.
This kicked the snot out my plants
but the leaves survived in decent shape. The constant buffeting
caused numerous parallel splits
in the main vine. In this section, the main vine has rolled out flat
and healed with no obvious bad
effects to the plant.

In this section of the main vine,
the split has scarred over and healed leaving an opening
into the cavity of the vine.
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger...

I have terminated most of BoodahMan’s
(1622 Young) invasive feeding appendages –
which pisses him off to no end.
But jeese… the longest secondaries which originate
before the fruit are now over
36 feet – he should be able to find enough to eat.
The plant now covers over 1,000
square feet and that’s it, BoodahMan -
learn to live within your limitations.

BoodahMan in his meditation robes
rises above the salad. “All that we are
is the result of what we have
thought. The mind is everything.
What we think we become.” Think
BIG BoodahMan - Think BIG.....

BoodahMan (1622 Young) has attained
a massive stature at the youthful age of 40 days.
I can no longer reveal his full
girth. You wouldn’t believe me anyway.
Actually, I don’t believe it either…
It doesn’t matter - this one will probably blow…
“Do not dwell in the past, do
not dream of the future, concentrate the mind
on the present moment.” Try to
keep your thoughts together young Siddhartha…

Booh Bear (993 Vincent-McGill)
dons some meditation robes and apes
his more introspective big brother
BoodahMan up the hill.
"It's all rumbly in my tummy when
the honey pot is empty"
You gotta love Booh - he’s such
an adorable little goof ball.

Booh Bear (993 Vincent-McGill)
puts on a wide grin when hears all the brouhaha
regarding his bigger boo brother
BoodahMan. At 40 days,
Booh Bear is taping a modest 321”
OTT – just over 700 pounds.
“I never want to grow up” says
Booh. Silly little bear...
August 9, 2010
All vines on BoodahMan (1622 Young)
are now terminated and the leaves have all filled out nicely.
On an scale of 1 to 10 for aggression,
this plant rates at least a 12. This has been one
of the coldest spring/summer periods
on record in our area which didn't slow down
this plant's amazing growth curve
at all. Thanks for the seed Don.
WARNING: Objects in the patch
may appear larger than the Good Lord ever intended. heh, heh...
