Some open pollinations on the weekend(with help) on the 809 Breznick and 515 Caron.These plants are in the country.Soon to be more on the 658 Henkin,537 Lorraine,1421 Boyce.Missed one today on the 896 McMillan(things happen fast with hot weather)so it will be open(with 1421 pollen(snake vine backup),probably selfed with all the bees).The main seems to split into two vines at 7 ft,also thick.The pollination today was on one(12ft),tomorrow another on the other.One of the secondary pollinations took.I must have broken off four open pollinations on secondaries.Picked all the males then did some cuke beetle prevention.Sprayed 10% milk solution,baking soda.Humid in the city.Pic to follow.
