put the cut into ole crackey's stem today. 3 more cuts and it will be the end of its brief life. the stump on the 1247 handy has healed up and hardened up on its surface completely. tomorrow i will have a pollination on the 885 # 2 plant on another brutally hot day. this time along with some ice jugs i will put a fan on it after pollination too at the advice of dick wallace. there is a chance for thundersorms tomorrow, so i will have to call a friend to pull the fan if storms approach. i do not think the first pollinated female took on the 885 #2 and the second pollination was on the 98 degree day and i am no too confident it that one taking. this will be the third attempt and the 4th attempt will be in about 6 days when hopefully i will get one day under 90 degrees to try pollination on this plant. the 885 #1 12' looks to be set and growing nicely for only 3 days old. hoping for some cooler temps after tomorrow, and by that i mean 90 or lower.
night time lows in the middle 70s with high humidity has me wanting to bring out the banner maxx to fight against early powdery possibilities, but i need to wait until all fruit are set before using it. in the mean time, weekly daconil and no misting will be all i can do to keep the conditions in check. after tomorrow's heat, the entire patch shade cloth is coming down.
