LanTerra Update > The warmer weather returns today and hopefully so does the rain. Timely rainfall is what is best for the plants at this stage of bud formation. There is no need to for the plants to suffer from lack of water and calcium at this critical time. The coolish spring did have one benefit in moderate and consistent rainfall. As long as it doesn't get too hot the fruit from these plants should be highly sustainable and resistant to BES. With all of the new tactics I'm using this year calcium within the fruit should be well distributed to the distal end.
The cuc's are back and to celebrate I thru them a bifenthrin party. Listed for cuc's, squash bug and vine borers it is much easier on the plant then sevin. I have more chems in my war chest but they are all somewhat taboo in this country.
The 998 Pukos if off and starting to look like the dream plant it has been for other folks. In cool weather it gained well over 2' in three days.
I never thought the plants would be ready but all three are producing males and females are only a few days away. The best looks to be the 1055* Pitura at about 10' on the main. The hail damage from Sunday was really only a minor concern. Thankfully the season continues to look very, very good.
