Back from vacation, time for a patch inspection. Was hot, dry, and windy at home while we were gone. Weather pattern here for last several years is once we get to May/June rains just don't make it to our area. Still get all the negatives that come with storms (high winds that tear things up) without the moisture payoff. Vine growth that occurred while we were gone is a bit of a mess along with some scorched leaves on vine tips from the high heat. Looks like most of the automatic watering system worked though so overall patch is in decent shape. 1655.5 starting to look like her momma while we were gone. Blossom end growing under and starting to appear a little lumpy on top. Day 27 was yesterday and snuck in a measurement last night when we got home. Averaged a little over 19 lbs/day while we were gone, so no where near what we would like it to be but hopefully she's like here momma and growing on the inside as much as out as well for some hidden gains. Will measure again in a couple of days at day 30 to see current growth rate. Will also start foliar feeding to see if we can pick up the pace some.
