Default Re: I Have A Bloom In April!

Hello again! I'm not sure that there are any hard and fast rules for how many you should have in a 6'x8' area. You could probably get away with having two main stalks with about 2 pups each in an area that size. Yes, you can cut down the main pstem after you have harvested the fruit.

Also do I cut down the one that is now blooming when it is done?

Thanks to all of you for your encouragement, it's taken me 4 yrs to get to this point.
