The Kiwi-sized fruit on the Dill is now around a can of soda. I should probably start circumference measurements soon, since I'm terrible at guestimating size. I pollinated the first flower on the Clementz yesterday morning and have another, in a more preferable location, opening at 15ft tomorrow, woot! You can spot a few slabs of Styrofoam I'm using to shade the pumpkins/female flowers. Here's a deck shot of the patch. The Clementz is following a flag pattern with a few right-side secondaries growing forwards...I'm constantly tilling and fertilizing the previously overturned grass ahead of the vines. The Dill on the right is doing the same with the secondaries growing out of sight and down a hill. Not much plant behind the sets so far, but it's filling out pretty quickly aside from a few secondaries that decided to spontaneously stop growing on the Dill, while others seem to be growing even more quickly. Ah well :). I can't express how nice it is to check on the plant every morning without having to look for new mole damage.
