From upsetting to exciting in less than 24hrs.!!!!!The first male flower on the 1290 Poirier is ready to open tommorrow morning.Unfortunately it could'nt wait a few more days till the first female opens on the 1069 Zunino. But if it was that easy and calculated it would'nt be as much fun;)
I'll definately get a picture in the morning of my first 2008 flower!!!!Even at this early stage in the game I have a strong sense of accomplishment...From starring at and contemplating the right seed all winter,to a successful germination early spring,to a problem free outside transplant,to watching the slow early growth daily in the month of May,to experiencing the satisfaction of getting the vine to hit the ground,to the first sign of secondaries appearing,to the first sign of males and female flowers developing; It's all extremely inspiring and fullfilling..I can honestly say this has become one of the most rewarding hobbies I have ever been involved with.
Ok,I'll stop rambling.
