Chugging along...

Each of my "top five" are doing well. The 964 Wolf is leading in length. The 1185 is a little wimpy, but at least I have five chances at growing something. One thing that I still haven't figured out, is how to get longer vines at this time of year. No matter what I do, my pollination time will be July 4th through the 11th, or thereabouts. It matters not how soon I start, or how warm the plants stay. I simply can't get the length. It's got to be soil, or nutrition, but really I can't figure it out.

For each plant I've mounded the dirt in front of the main in hopes of avoiding stem stress. I think this was one of my limiting factors last year with the 720.
