good news and bad:

bad: vine is still rotting in various places, badly in one spot. I dried up a bad spot with fan, and another one was found today. I even found a small spot on the stem starting to rot. Definitely have disease in the patch! Holding this thing together with tape and paper clips!!!!!!

Good: growth slowed down to 10 lbs a day, then picked up to over 20 again! 355 ott on day 51. Hitting some historic numbers for san diego. Bigger than last years county record size wise, and approaching my biggest ott ever which I got 359 ott in 2005 with a split fruit. Will pass that number soon. "If" we can keep the vine or stem from rotting, she's gonna be big for this far south. Not sure how long we can keep the vines healthy.
