I'd like to see the sun...

OK, well, we've been in thick clouds, cool and rainy for much of the last week. The plants are fine, but going nowhere fast.

I've made the culls down to the final six: 1092 Martin, 857 Christensen, 1085 Bortner, 604 Warren, 964 Wolf, and 1186 Bowles. Elise's plant is the 1016 Christensen, and it is way behind because it hasn't been in a hoophouse.

No genetic problems, except for one of the 604 plants developed a ribbon vine. This was the same seedling that had 3 seed leaves. Since it was double-planted next to another 604, the decision to cull was easy. The only other problem I have, other than being slow, is that the 857 is wanting to go east instead of north. I'll have to turn it slowly.
