how sweep it is!!!! sox at least saved face with a come back sweep over the baby bears. nice!!! fishing was off due to a rough lake michigan with north winds this morning. self pollinated the 1446 number 2 pollination with 5 flowers and tomorrow will be the 997 at 17 to 18 feet. hard to tell length out at this stage with hooking main, but really need this one to take. only gonna be 80 for a high so fingers are crossed. the 1041 will be tuesday. if the 1306 takes from yesterday and these next 2 take, i could be on my way for the season on all plants. the 1446 6 day old this am at 5:30 was 13 circ. inches and will check progress again tomorrow a.m. nice shape and color at this stage. i am hoping she hits about 25 plus on day 10 which is a keeper in my book unless the next one down the line tops that. plants are huge and have terminated the first secondaries on all plants and the first 2 on both sides of the 997 which are 14' to 15'. bright sunshine tomorrow with low humidity after a cool cloudy day today means i will mist lightly tomorrow while at work. tomorrow will catch up on vine burying with mych fungi.
