tomato row this morning before the storms came. and the line up is the gordon graham on the left at 32" tall, a big zac next to it at 31" tall, a brutus magnus at 30" tall in center, the 5.58 timm x self at 27" tall, and another big zac to the right at 27" tall. seems like the hotter it gets into the corner the more growth i am getting from them. all suckers are pruned and i am using a green grade stake ribbon or tape that is plastic and flexible yet strong to tie the plants off to their poles. not tightly, but enough support to hold them up in storms. i got all pumpkin plant vines staked down securely this morning after i got done burying leaf nodes and adding myco fungi and pruning terts and hand weeding at the same time. had a storm with wicked thunder building up at 10:30 so i covered all mains completely and covered the tips with mini white patio tables in case of hail. no hail yet, but a nice soaking rain is going on as i type. i can't even imagine what the plants are gonna do now that this is their first taste of lightening charged real rain water. time to hold on as i have an important 10 days coming up keeping mains down and secured from snapping, splitting or cracking with all the taps giving energy, the big leaves giving energy. plants are vining at almost 1' per day in this heat. it is supposed to cool down a bit and that will be good for letting the plants catch up a bit and slow down with nicer temps for female development too.
