No pollination today on the 1875 Mendi. Plant main vine is slowing down. It's focusing on growing the first 2 secondaries and they are about 2 feet long each. A female flower is forming on one of the secondaries. The first female flower on the main vine will probably be ready be Friday at 10 feet. I'll pass on that one and wait for the next one since the plant is growing secondaries to help push a pumpkin. I tried my new foliar spray today on all my plants to see how they respond to it. The directions on the jar told me to use 2 tablespoons of powder/gallon of water and apply every week or 2. The website said to use 1 tablespoon/gallon of water and apply biweekly. I'm following the directions on the jar. 220 Baggs marrow is growing fast while the 173 Baggs is growing slowly. Tomato plants almost big enough to be transplanted into 20 gallon pots.
