First pollination of the season, the 1684 Delaney x Self at just shy of 11 feet out on the main vine. I had two mediocre males to use, so I'm not real confident in how it will take. Otherwise, temperatures were right today, with the morning stying in the low 60's and afternoon highs around 70.
Overall weather has seemed really cool and wet for June here in Vermont. This has slowed overall plant growth down, we need some low 80's! The main of the 1684 sits at around 14'+ with another female just coming out of the growing tip. Hopefully that is ready at around 16-17' in 10 days or so. I don't have much patience in waiting until early July for pollination, so the weather better start helping this plant a bit.
The 1770 Lieber seems to have a disease, perhaps yellow vine. The plant is very yellow, very stiff vines, with very little vine length between nodes. Its all very compact. Male flowers are sterile with no stamen to speak of. Perhaps is excessive nitrogen, however the Delaney plant right next to it seems fine, although there is a lot of yellow in that plant as well.
Fingers are crossed my plants don't go down!!!
