This poor plant has not recovered fully from the massive Cucumber Beetle attack that occurred early on. It may not look that great in the picture but I know what this plant can produce so I am not giving up on it. While the main part of the plant is clearly under some stress the growing tip has not burned so there is still the opportunity for growth.

As a back-up I planted a spare 1385 Jutras clone plant that I had leftover to see how a later in the season planting would do. The back-up did not get hit with Cucumber beetles nor did it have a cold-frame, but I just could not bring myself to throw out a good looking 1385 Jutras clone plant, especially when I had this plant that is not looking in the best of shape.
