to catch everyone up, it was a tough year for all in southern california, including my patch. High heat and lots of disease took out a lot of growers this year. My fruit stopped growing at day 70 and the plant was toast. I usually get 90 days and I felt this fruit would have grown 100 days with a healthy plant, but the heat and mosaic killed it early. It ended up at 870 estimated, one of my smallest fruits ever in this patch. Off of the vine for a month in high heat, I knew it lost a lot of weight by sight and by feel. God provided a way up with vince, so we loaded it and went and thanked God for the blessing.

Joshua also took up this fruit that weighed in at 35 lbs, he won youngest grower award! Awesome buddy!
