Yesterday morning I went out to look at the flower on the 604. It was not open, and it didn't look like it was about to open. Then I came home from work and found that the flower had opened during the day!
The same thing happened to a female on the 1185. I don't know what to make of it... two more open pollinations. I just hope they take, because it's getting late and I don't want to wait for another on the 604. I certainly don't see any bees when I go out in the early morning, but hopefully there are some that show up later in the day.
This morning I pollinated one on the 1290 Poirier with the 604. Elise is gone visiting cousins for the week. She's lucky she has me to fill in... I also pulled the plug on the 1186 Bowles. I decided that it makes no sense to have two plants taking up the same space. Neither plant gets pruned or buried properly if they are growing side by side.
