Culling continues with the heat last week taking care of some of it. I lost several later set fruit that I was hoping to keep. It seems the larger ones fared better. I have a couple on secondaries that I would like to grow out without taxing the plants too much, so I cut the secondary vine from the main in those cases. One is on the 1005 Mombert and the other on the 857 Platte* All other plants are down to 1 fruit except the 583 which has the late set on the main vine. It is hardly growing at all though so the larger fruit that is close in on the secondary my end up being the keeper. It has a nice symmetrical shape. The 603.5 Muller is producing a wagon wheel, but so far I have managed to avoid stem stress. The main vine fruit on the 1005 Mombert is now the second largest in the patch and is 8 days younger than the 763 Biss fruit. It is on inch larger than the 1097.5 Beachy fruit and 4 days younger.
Here are the crosses.
1028 Johnson* Poll 7-12 5 lobe with 1 857*
857 Platte* Poll 7-12 6 lobe with 1 1028*
763 Biss Poll 7-5 5 lobe with 1 Self (It was only one available)
724 Perham Poll 7-18 5 lobe with 3 1097.5 Beachy
1005 Mombert Poll 7-13 5 lobe with 2 1097.5 Beachy
583 Michalec Poll 7-18 5 lobe with 3 1005 Mombert
1097.5 Beachy Poll 7-9 5 lobe with 3 763 Biss
603.5 Muller Poll 7-9 5 lobe with 2 763 Biss
High temps today were lower than our overnight low on this day last week. 30° difference between last weeks high temp and this weeks. If feels good to cool down, but it would be nice to find a point in between these extremes.
