damn what a week. high winds snapped off the 1247 main and the 905 main along with a couple secondaries. wind breaks and bamboo stakes didn't keep away the blues. both my 885s survived nicely with some beat of leaves and that is about it. 40 mph sustained winds for all day with some gusts close to 50 are not good. i was not alone in this wind beating i see from other posts on the message board.
i will try on secondaries on the 1247 if my pollination on a sickly looking 4 lober doesn't take that was pollinated yesterday morning. the split stem 15' set is still growing a little. the splits healed so maybe it will do something. the 905 will not even have a main vine chance. it will be a secondary set only after i train the closest secondary to the snap as the new main. if either of these plants do not have anything really chugging on them this year, i will grow 2 or 3 on each one all with different crosses and treat them as genetics plants and halloween pumpkin plants. i am getting good at taking the wrath of Mother Nature.
bring it on Lady, i am not gonna give up.
