1167: solid primary vine growth, healthy, moderately sized leaves, secondary vines slow and sparse so far
1540: attractive plant, steady main vine growth, very nice leaf color, short distance between leafnodes. Secondaries also slow out of the gate, but catching up.
1288: most vigorous plant in the patch; thick, strong vines, heavy growth rates, secondaries now starting to kick into gear. Some difficulties with vine training.
634*: most flawless plant in the patch. Vigorous, well-behaved secondaries, strong main vine, beautiful, large leaves.
1556: still chugging along; still don't think it has much potential, other than as a pollinator.
104 Lovelace: both plants growing steadily, but slowly. Still no more than a foot tall, but I have confidence they'll start kicking into gear.
55 James: same comments as LGs, basically.
81 Wolf: both plants continue to basically outpace my competition AGs. The vigor of C. maxima with the leaves and vines of C. pepo.
70 Lovelace: major vine split slowed it down initially, but now doing just as well as the two 81's.
