Flunder 1049 — Vining out has officially started today... got my first tendril reaching out. Oddly even tho I did plant it in half backwards, because most of the sun is from the west all afternoon, the plant stem itself is already angled that way. So now the vine looks almost in the right direction. Used bamboo stick to support that angle and will see what the next few days does to the angle. 963 Johnson - now that the plant has more room without his twin “sharing the crib” I’m ready to see this one take off. 2 more leaves overnight. This plant IS facing the right direction :) They both have been loving the seaweed and kelp. I have way healthier “stumps” than last year, but feel I am a bit behind just because it’s been a cooler May (esp the nights) tho no frost. I don’t use hoop houses etc. This week is like 25-32c weather and nights high teens for a low. Growth has jumped since Sunday big time. Next week looks like nights will be around 10c... so night growth may slow a bit again. I need nights to be like 14-18 ideally. At least there is no frost - some of you have had crazy weather with snow and frost in May for crying out loud... I feel awful when I see people post about the state of their plants after a frost :(
