Today we leave for our week long trip visiting with my family down on the gulf coast. We got some good rain this morning so I was able to put the sprinklers on delay. It would seem the heatwave has subsided which is good because some younger leaves on the 2054 Strickler were getting cooked, and the 1935.5 Caspers seems to not tolerate the heat as well so it was getting a little extra water. Sorry I don't have any pics to share at the moment, but 2054 is on DAP 10 and seems rather large. I almost wonder if I'm off by a day and it's actually DAP 11....either way it's pretty big compared to the one I grew last year. Capsers is still hanging in there at DAP 9 and 4. Beacuse the plant isn't as strong right now I'm not certain which one is going to be the keeper for sure. They say taking a vacation in the middle of the season is the kiss of death, but we have a housesitter keeping an eye on things and she will send me any pics if something goes awry. I prepared everything well enough to last the week in terms of weeding and vine covering. I may even be able to get some pics for the entries from the housesitter while we're gone!
