More pics to come... Fat Fred is giving me lots of practice in how to bag and set fruit (been doing so and removing the close in females, has a nice one ready to bloom in a few days at 11', that one it gets to keep) and currently adding 18" a day. Fat Fred Junior (the 1018 Langevin) is full of small male flowerets and laid down and starting to stretch for that way... Frederica (1009 Young) is also laid finally and starting to go the other way. They may be the largest 'grower club' plants, we have meeting the 9th and I'll find out. Also scored some Merit-cousin, IN town, in bag. Have to determine now what to do and how to do it, concentration is a little less but it is the correct 'chemical' to kill with... SVB date is the 10th... Monday the 2nd was 105F with 5% humidity and wind at 37 gusting to 57 mph... it was a trial to keep everything from flash drying. FF flagged a touch, Junior did, and Frederica did NOT (I promptly put on the drizzle to cool them and all bounced back). Still goin' and growin' in the panhandle!
