Rain again last night, just not as bad as some parts of Iowa. Garden is a soggy, weedy mess. Another main vine got snapped, this time on the 748. 4 out of 6 with snapped mains. At least it was just past a 5 lobe female that opened this morning. I pollinated that one and another 5 lobe on a secondary with the 1143 Engel. But bugs had already gotten to them so they will be considered open. There was lots of leaf burn from the past 2 scorching days. I also pollinated a 5 lobe on a secondary on the 1047.5 blossom down plant. At this point I'm not worried about controlled pollinations, just getting something to grow. The open pollination on the 1299 Engel seems to be growing with nice shape, so it might be a keeper.
