Also the lone survivor on the 2032 Mathison, this plant also aborted a fruit on the main and was lucky to have another one further out (nicer shape anyways), also no side vine backups, rookie mistake.

I will need to add a shade curtain to my patch using the existing infrastructure of the deer fencing. Something I can put up (string it on guide wires) like a curtain because we are semi-rural and I can’t install a permanent structure over a certain size, and that regulated size is too small for my needs.
Need to get back in touch with Russ in California to get supplier of the fabric he uses on his screen house. I’ll likely want to screen and area 40 x 50 so at least I can shade 1/2 the patch during our wicked dry/hot spells.

Talking with other growers in my area and I’m not the only one losing fruit this year, not a coincidence.
