This is the 2145 McMullen x 1803 Hoelke. This one had very modest day 20 numbers that weren't worth measuring. However a week later it's putting on the same weight at my 1803.

I don't love these shapes of fruit, ok i hate them, as it looks like it wants to go over on the stem, and any concave blossom worries me more than the convex blossom.

I have a feeling I may get to those magical 45 pound days with this one but we'll see if it holds up for it.

The rooting on this plant is the best I've ever seen. Very aggressive roots all over the entire garden popping from the soil. I'll be stopping a lot of vines soon on this plant as my plot is bigger than I think the plants needs to be and with the later start I want to send a signal that it's fruit time.
