Gave the leaves on both plants (1339 vincent mcgill and 1054.5 van hook) their weekly spray of sevin and daconil. Growth has slowed a bit(in the teens) but still is steady for chubber bandit and Ellen (that is my wifes middle name and she has staked her claim on the 1339 vincent mcgill fruit. Lol). Also gave both plants some 0-0-30 go-go juice tonite before coming in to work. Every time I think the growth is starting to slow I go home in the morning and measure and they bounce back up into the 20's again so I'm takin all the gains I can get. Hopefully have another 30 days of growing and that would be sweet! Also sprayed the leaves with 30 percent skim milk and water the other day with the intent of staving off powdery mildew before it gets a foothold on the plant. Funny dream I had last night was growing a don young plant next year and beating the michigan record in 2011...hey a guy can dream can't he!!
