919 Holland fruit on day 34, has slowed down gained 22 a day last 3 days. Loosened up the vine by uprooting a few secondary's and digging under the main, which allowed the vine to drop below ground level. Will be OK on stem stress for a while. Getting huge, plenty of time to grow yet!

Day 34:

Circ 133", SS 91", EE 83", OTT 307" and EST at 595 pounds!!!

Measured all other fruit:

1 919 Holland 133" est 595

Looks like a set on the 572 Andrews, 374 Boyton and 644 Beachy. Weeds have gone crazy over last week! Going to clean up around the best plants tomorrow. Also a bit of pruning and burying. Protected 2 females on the 156 Gerry and 572 Andrews, will pollinate with pollen from home...
