picture of the 1014 holland today. We haven't seen the sun in 3 days, a deep marine layer. Cool temps. Plant is running good. Two unknowns. One, this plant likes to flop and droop with it's leaves even with misters on. Even when it is cloudy it still likes to flop. It might just be the gentics and nothing to worry about or it could be a problem later. It hasn't got real hot and it is flopping, so concerned the plant might be bad in high heat. Time will tell. Second, lesser goldfinches are chomping on my leaves, these little birds like to peck and eat them. A few of my leaves look like swiss cheese.

Besides this, plant is great, dark green, normal vines easy to train. I see a small pumpkin on the tip, probably will be about 11 feet out? Not sure, Might pollinate it, but atleast 2 weeks away. As for the 1408, I culled in about 7 days ago.
