Just got back from vacation and found the vines had nearly reached the limits of the available space. The smallish 1531Fulk put on 10 feet in 8 days. While away, my daughter and neighbor managed to pollenate a 1725 Haist at 17' on main vine (now 24')by the 1969 Haist and a 1969 Haist on main vine by the 1725 - tied the flowers. Vines look great with leaves almost up to my chest. Unfortunately my new irrigation system failed - timer somehow got water logged and soaked the batteries and shorted out the dial screen. So much for all that effort and expense. Luckedly, had several rains this week.
So I moved the fencing further out into the corn field (which is now as tall as I am.)and got another 3 feet of potential forward growth on the vines, but have exhausted the tilled mushroom soil. many female flowers on all of the secondaries.
