Big Day - gave up on letting the vines grow any bigger - consumed my total available space - even after stealing a couple of rows of corn from the hapless farmer to expand the fence. Reluctantly cut growing tips of all secondaries and the growing tip of the 1531 main vine. Going to give the 1969 and 1725 another day or so to get every ounce of energy available for the starters fruits. - have 5 nice ones among the 3 vines, each about the size of a softball EXCEPT on the 1969 - all the females came at once way out at the tips. Tried to pollenate one last week on the 1969 but it failed. Finally pollenated a fruit on the 1969 today with the 1725. see next entry.
