Some other notes from the patch:
1385 Jutras
The 1385 Jutras suffered some sun damage last week. The tip of the main vine and two secondaries were fried. The main vines final length is 16'6". The two secondaries were out near the tip, both are under 3 feet in length. I plan to fill in the rest of the space they would normally be in with tertiary vines. There are two pumpkins set on this plants main. The first one is off to a great start, the second is at 15'. Other than the sun damage this plant seems to be strong.
1363 Werner
The 1363 has only produced one mature male blossom. That one male didn't produce any pollen. It has produced quite a few female blossoms however. I'm not sure what has caused this if its anything other than a genetic thing. I'm sure the soil isn't lacking in K. The pollinations have seemed to take and I think this one could produce a nice fruit.
629 Snyder
The 629 Snyder(1367 Rose x 125 Wolf) was one of the strongest plants out of the gate and was my fastest grower into June. It started to suffer alot of damage from the sun. In the past only one or two plants in my patch suffered UV damage. I usually just wrote those plants off as weaker plants. This season however most of my plants have suffered sun/UV damage, the 629 has been the hardest hit. This plants fruits are solid green when small. About the time the blossoms are ready to open they start to turn yellow/white but the green stays in the ribs. All three pollinations on this plant are green and white, it will be interesting to see how they turn out.
My strongest plants to this point have been the 746 Snyder, 1012 Hester and 1385 Jutras, in no particular order. Of course growing salad is different than growing fruit. Were now to the point in the season where it gets real interesting. Every day is exciting.
