2’x2’ leaves on the 1953 are enormous. roots bigger than I’ve seen before. Loads of female flowers pollinated self and from the 2052; growing consistently. Vine measures 25 W (limit of fence and cutting secondaries tips) X 27’ L with a few feet left in the patch. Growing a nice fruit at 20’ but another candidate starting further out. This could be a really BIG fruit, if I don’t screw it up again this year.
    Applied CalVantage (1st) earlier today, then came a drenching rain, then bright sun and the last application of foliar 20-20-20 for the season in the evening. Changing to Jack’s 10-30-20 for couple of feeds and then 12-15-30 (or Finishing fertilizer – 7-15-30) for the rest of the season. 87 deg today. These are the best 2 vines I've ever had. Yahoo!
