This is the last pollination on the 1420.5 and again I used the 1142. It is a little over 14' on the main and has good position (I've been doing my S-turns) and once I am sure it has taken I will endeavor to swing the vine over to give the fruit the best angle possible.

Of course my earlier pollination from July 4th on a secondary is roaring along at a good pace and will be tough to cull. I may switch my original plan to grow 1 fruit on the 1420.5 and 2 fruit on the 1142 and do the reverse....time will tell.

Still lots of room in my patch for addition main vine growth and secondaries after the fruit. I am going to train some of the secondaries behind the fruit forward now into the available space and allow them to grow past the other secondaries that are being terminated at 12'.
