FF, again. Since yesterday 11.5 to 13" side to side, 9 to 10" end to end, and 18.75 to 22.25" No, not vatloads for the age but. Growing well considering and I'd say the big black M (Matt) should worry. That is if I get past skunks, tree rats, hail, and other things. It's still amazing to ME to be able to tape it and definitely have some change.
Junior (1018 Langevin) is looking GOOD and both females are at 11' on the main and 8.5 on a good strong secondary; about thumb length and right on schedule for the attempt to set in early July.
Frederica (1009 Young) has just one, but it's about 11' out on the secondary (trust me, the main is about 8' and I cut the female off it, I swear this secondary must be doing something when I'm not looking) and about the same age, right on time for a chance. I am looking for the main to hopefully present when the tip cluster that's there stretches in the next two days. When they look close I will wade FF and pare off EVERY bloom so no chance of sneaky bees then bag these two fair pumpkins...
It's 100 and the patch is still soggy. There's a touch of flag in FF but I am letting patch dry out and when the sun gets around a bit of relief sprinkle only. Relief promised this weekend, mixed bag, days in the high eighties and chances of ugly thunderstorms. pbbht
