Time for an update.
The 1348 Hester plant has a yellow leaf issue. I'm not sure, but it might be Yellow Vine Disease. It looks exactly like what happened to one of my plants in 2007; if you want to see a pic of it. Most of the leaves on the mainvine have turned yellow, and it's spreading down the sidevines. This plant will be pulled in the near future.
The 1027 Lombardi plant is growing great, and looks healthy. The first two pollinations didn't take(I'm guessing it was because of the heat). The first one(6-28) stopped growing after about 5 or 6 days. The second one(7-2)never really got going. There's an open-pollinated one at about 17'(pollinated on 7-7), that looks good so far. Another should open on 7-11. I'm hoping one of the two will be the keeper. I'm also hoping that the keeper will grow big, with a such large plant behind it. I need to catch up with weeding and vine burying this week.
