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.

Boll Weevil Eradication
This bright yellow cylinder is courtesy of the state's boll weevil eradication program. I see no evidence of a boll weevil. Of course, I have no idea what to look for either.
