LanTerra update > very wet and drizzly here today and very hard to work in the patch.

The 1236* is still growing great and a pollination attempt begins today. I got a male flower off the 800* Neily 2007 yesterday but I am not sure of its quality. There are some grains that look to be ok. I have left it to warm up in kitchen this morning. A modest bit of dry heating might help to take the moisture out of the pollen.

I have some pollen from a couple of pumpkin flowers I can go with also.

This is the earliest I have ever pollinated a female here in Barrie. My previous best was June 23rd.

The plant is out about 17 feet with the female at about 12'. A weird and very rare intermediate side vine female at the next junction 13' and another female 14' out ready in a few days.
