Day 60 on the 144 Radach in the 150 square foot contest. I lost my first plant in a rain storm just before the vine was about to lay down and had to start over. As a result it was a really late pollination on August 9th. It hasn't grown at all in the last 10 days. I didn't keep up on the pest and disease control and it has a bad case of spider mites and powdery mildew. 3/4 of the plant is gone and what's left isn't healthy at all. The fruit is estimating 261 pounds. It's small but it's pretty and the color is darkening up nicely. This one will go to the Kristofferson Farm weighoff on Saturday.
