The plants are loving this weather and the merit. Dead buggies everywhere I am still killing females when I see them.Now for the stats. The Lishness and the Mitchell are Dead even now at both 8 feet out. The Marchand is sitting pretty at 10 feet and the biggest plant with the most growth is the Frantz at 12 feet out. This plant is huge with big leafs and its being pruned in a careful flag pattern.Theres a small female on its tip. The female will be the first one to be pollinated on this plant. I have decided I am going to self it as I really like the color on its parent. The plants are all super healthy and growing really well now its just waiting on females. The big problem we are having now in the patch is these weeds they look like little plants but if you let them grow out they can get very very tall. The thing is if you pick them and throw the plants aside within a week that area will be over run with these things and the area you just pulled will have tons of baby plants sprouting up. We cannot keep on top of these things so we laid plastic over the whole patch in sections and will remove the dark plastic as the plants vine out more and of course once the weeds are dead. I will take a pic of the weeds so you all might be able to tell us what we are dealing with. I cannot wait to pollinate I know pollination time is now but without females ready I will just have to wait. I have a feeling this will be the yr I break my PB with compost,our secret tea, Major pest control and of course alot of love I am on the track to a monster. I will take pics very soon to show you all the females and the plants there on. Have a very happy and safe fourth of July.
