642 Dill ’17 (F: 775 Berard x 1998.5 Jutras ‘15)

This was a difficult decision, but I have decided to remove my 642 Dill ’17. What made this a hard choice is the plant had nothing wrong with it, the problems were physical and it just seemed to be unlucky. It started with a wind storm that broke the main vine (as you can see the nub in the image) so I retrained a secondary vine in its place. The plant started to recover and things were going well until the retrained secondary vine then split which can be seen in the image just beyond the original main vine break.

As a result I did not feel this plant would be in the same pattern as my other plants and made the hard choice to remove it. The other plant behind it in this image is also getting removed so both plant sites will be planted with grass seed this afternoon before some much needed rain.
