For the time being this will be my last post as there is nothing more to report. We had a week of pretty warm weather but we are back to cold, wet and cloudy again.

Last night a storm took out my tallest corn stalk which was about 11 ft.

This is a picture of one of the six marrows I have going. It looks big but unfortunately feels awful light for its size. Now measuring CC 180 cm (71") and about 7-12 days of growth left.

Hope to pollinate a few LGs in the next few days.

The 893 Privitera is still growing as is the 1378 Pitura. The 1378 is now doing well on the daily benchmarks but had such a slow start, I'm afraid it won't catch up.

The 1018 Van Hook and 824 Brunst* aren't really growing. I might pull the 824* as it is waterlogged.

Be back in a month or two.
