Several years ago, my friend Maryann and I decided to grow cotton in a small space next to her house. In our defense, it was the sunniest place available. We produced two lackluster bolls. This year, we girded our loins, bought an heirloom variety of cotton named Nankeen Brown, enrolled in the state's boll weevil eradication program and planted 189 seeds. 150 survived and were transplanted to my backyard. This is our story.

New Leaves
While watering today, I noticed many of the plants were putting out new leaves. I'll post a photo tomorrow. I'm also hoping a friend of mine will allow Maryann and me to traipse through her pasture in pursuit of a more natural form of fertilizer. Should I trust reinforced Hefty bags to keep my vehicle safe from cow poo?
