been too busy to update this, need to keep track though...

Hottest day of the year so far. Hit 93.
Had shade pulled and misters set to run, but something happened to the timer so it didn't kick on, Johnathon ran it manually till I got home and go the timer set up again.

Pollinated the 1623.5 Wallace with the 1312 Weston. 4 lober, but a little odd shaped, it's still early and there is one on the tip that will pollinate in about 5 days.

Pollinated the 1312 Weston with the 1676.5 Daletas. Beautiful 4 lober, perfect symmetry, long stem, about 19-20 ft out.

Both sets were covered with a Styrofoam cooler and ice bottles underneath. We have had good luck pollinating this way over the last couple of years in high 90s.
