I came out this morning to find that the main had grown about 2-3 inches and was now pushing out the top of the leaf (see last entry). I am still amazed at the growth rate of these things. I think watering everyday will definitely help.
I was considering future pollination for my plant today and I was talking to Camera (another local grower) about a potential cross for the 1446. I could cross it with itself, but he said that if the timing works out he might have some pollen from a 670 Daigle. He figures that might make for a neat cross.
We’ll see. Still a long way to go, but you gotta make plans eh?
Today I will probably dig up some of my old compost and make the mound a bit larger. Yesterday I convinced the neighbors gardener to dump his grass clippings in my compost bin, so now he gives me all his maple leaves and grass. I already have another neighbor giving me his grass clippings--one man's garbage is another man's treasure eh?
