First pollenation of the season. 955 Brinkley x 695 Holder. This first one is at 14'6" on the main vine. This should produce a nice orange cross if it takes. More entries as they occur.
Severe thunderstorm this evening. .3" of rain. High winds tore thru the patch leaving me with layed over vines. I put them back as best as possible and buryed the bare vine areas.
Here is the fruit on my 955 Brinkley plant. It is 50 days old today, and just rebounding to 8 lb. gains after a stall in growth. This is 955 Brinkley x 695 Holder.
ss=79"...fb=87"...circ=124.5"...total=291.5"...(525 est.)
Here is the fruit on my 1350 Starr plant. It is 50 days old today and is still in a stall, just may be done growing. It is 1350 Starr x 1096 Privitera.
ss=95"...fb=89.5...cir=131"...total=315.5...(663 est.)
Here is a picture at our weighoff. I took third place with 564.4. It is the 564.4 Holder 2008...955 Brinkley x 695 Holder...8% heavy after 32 days off the vine.
