the Patch a few hours before the massive thunderstorm rolled through the northeast – seems it was taking dead aim at my wonderful patch. Fortunately, the wind was from the south, and the patch was somewhat protected by 8’ walls of corn against the south fence. Unfortunately, it flattened and kinked a lot of the 1501 leaves – don’t look so good now – continuing to suddenly rain alternating with sun. Never saw anything like it.
Applied phosphite, and later in the day, CalVantage before the rain and Neptune fish/kelp emulsion with Jack’s 20-20-20 today. Lost the only other fruit on the 1501 at circ = 58 inches. Soft white spots. Cut it off and rolled it out while the rollin’ was still good to avoid needing to snow shovel a pile of mush (again). The 2043 has 6 fruits DAP 1-10, all in good shape and waaaaaay out on the tips – about 25 ft.
