So my nugget plants (2) have done relatively well this year. The one plant I had in a large pot was doing great and probably would have had a decent first year's yield, but I went on vacation for 2 week and the neighbor who said they'd water it didn't. Well over half the leaves turned brown and died. There's maybe a dozen cones on that plant that might be harvestable, but not for a few more weeks.
The second plant, that's in the ground in my backyard, started out a slow grower, but it rebounded nicely and has at least 3-4 dozen cones that are getting really close to being "ripe", but they're not browning at the tips just yet, and they don't really have any scent yet either.
I live just a couple miles from Wilmington, NC, and TS/Hurr. Hannah is bearing down on this region. Looks like we're going to take the brunt of the storm. If Hannah doesn't do it, then Ike might just deliver the knock out punch (can't help but think of Ike Turner).
So, do I cut 'em down, pluck what I can now and hope for the best, or do nothing and pray that the ensuing winds don't tear up my roots?
Other options and ideas would be greatly appreciated!
