today it was a scorcher in the greenhouse and the misting system was used to keep the 1247 from toasting. it got
another burnt leaf yesterday when the misting system was
not used. it was 76 degrees but my high low thermometer
showed it reached 95 degrees in there while i was at work.
no big deal because the vine is laid down and running and
is exactly 3' long tonight. this picture was taken yesterday
and you can see the over and under crossed bamboo stakes
training the vine to stay down and straight. the leaves
are over 20 inches already and it is a mad grower.
it will have to be closely monitored all year for heat
since it has now twice showed a tendency to burn leaves
if temps get above 90 in the greenhouse.
