and the go getter of the patch without doubt is the 1725 harp. the first secondary on the right side in this picture came directly off the top of the vine and was shooting straight up. i could have trained it up and over as i have done in the past, but this had lead to trouble with fissures too close to the stump area for my liking so it got the whack. the next one down the line is looking a little goofy and is coming off the side but shot out a small true leaf real early at the junction and maybe a weirdo. the next one looks normal and if i have to, i will train it on an angle backwards and let some terts grow off it with a couple leaves to fill the gaps. the other side secondaries are normal right off the get go. i have seen this with my 1041 mckie that grew my 1147 some years back and should not be a problem...i hope. for now it is showing its muscle early. these small greenhouses will be down over all plants on saturday and up will go the silt fences and more misting heads attached for the clear sunny 85 degree days right around the corner. the tomato plants survived the pounding 3 inches of rain yesterday and this morning total and look good. removed a early flower on 3 different plants including the 7.33 hunt all all of them were fused blossoms. hopefully all the rest will be megablooms too once the plants get substantiated.
