Last night we hoed, dug trenches for secondaries, added the BioTone starter, buried secondaries. Jacob popped off a couple of females that were way too close to the stump on the 910 Young. Jacob's 547 McWilliams is still the most aggressive growing plant in the patch, but now the 689 McWilliams is close behind. The 1275 Carlson-Peterson is looking good with a lot of secondaries but smaller leaves. The rest are looking OK considering the cold first month in the ground. The heat we are getting now along with the ample soil moisture has them growing very fast. The only thing wilting in the heat is me.
The long gourd vines are approaching 6' long now, but the leaf disease has me worried. I will spray dacoil within the next 2 days. It starts at the ground level and works its way up, so it probably is smoething in the soil. Hopefully the Aliette drench will help too.
