You can compare this picture to the last one I posted that was taken on June 19th, 2010 to see how much the plants have grown. I also took the time today to go around and take pictures of the individual plants so you can see each one.
The umbrellas you see are over my potential pollinations. The goal is to keep the female flower cool before pollination and also after. In case of rain (or the water from my overheads that I use to help cool the plants) the umbrellas double as a way to keep the flowers dry. I think this has helped increase my pollination success. The umbrellas are easy to find, quick to set-up (mine are tied to a stake in the ground) and store in very little space all winter.
