Here is another picture of the 1446. As you can see the leaves are already pretty big (18+ inches across).
A couple of minor problems have developed--something ate a few small holes through one of the large leaves and the stump has a small split in it at the base near the soil. The split is not across the stump, so I think it is okay (it travels lengthwise for about an inch and is really shallow). Also, when I tried to train a large leaf to the right so the main would not go over top of it I think I snapped the leaf--it is all twisted at the base but continues to grow fine.
The main vine seems to be about 3 feet long now and getting closer to the ground. I still have not extended the sides of the greenhouse as I should have. So much work, so little time!
