Earliest post-flood pollination on Survivor. I put as much curve on the main as I could because it is so close to the drainage ditch. The stem just wanted to follow the main, then a secondary decided to follow it. If I keep this one I will cut off the main here and remove the secondary. I have 2 more on the main beyond this one, but it is getting late. Overall plant health is great, especially considering the flood. I found some Chickety Doo Doo in the garage and spread it around the plant. No incorporation, just waiting for rain to work some nutrients into the soil. I hope the stink keeps critters away; it makes me want to keep my distance. I found that mowing weeds on the vacant pumpkin patches is a little depressing.
