wow what a week. 100 degrees one day and 70 mph winds the next. i survived and the plants did too. minor damage but we will be ok. the new fence did good and the plants were large enough to support themselves on the interior with out too many bent leaves. a couple roll overs and snapped leaves towards the exterior of the plants were cleaned up and put in order and today 2 days later you cant even tell except a gap here or there where i lost leaves. the heat aborted the only set on the 1647. it was 5 days old on the 100 degree day and was 12". it continued to grow while dying slowly. it was 15" yesterday night and still 15" circ this morning. lost its luster and i believe is done. too bad since a mouse or critter sunk 4 teeth into the next female at 23' that would have opened up about today or tomorrow. there were no more in the cluster so the next try would havge been over 30 feet and i would be out of room. only 3 females showed up on the main. one at 11' died in development, the 17 footer aborted and the 23 footer got munched. i will try secondaries for a bign if they take in the crazy heat all week. worse case let it go and get multiple halloweenies. the it will now just be a shits n giggles plant. part of the game. and i really cant complain as you will see when the other 2 updates with pictures get posted.
