And here is my 30 day wonder = Horton X self. Thought I was going somewhere with this one as was 10 inches ahead of 1200 benchmarks but atarted cutting back on day 20 instead of picking up. It really hasn't put on inches since 25 July -- est 125lb. I'm hopeing but what you see is probably what I get! I have misters which help with the flagging (ie, no flagging) but just too hot here to polinate. Was lucky to get this one as other two started later didn't take. If I see another female on this plant I would try again as will start geting cooler soon, but right now all growth is in suspended animation (which is same problem as last year. I did try to get an early start but not early enough as june was 100f all month -- needed it polinate my 1 May for any hopes of beating the heat! But for less then 75 sqft of growing space, it not bad. It is a good plant, but the only thing I don't like about this is fruit has a nipple end (dill ring on blossem). The other fruits had the same looks.
