Pics to come. Fat Fred has three vines at 15-17 feet, and taking out 'spaces' not filled in, is estimated at 400 square feet now. Two vines have 'contenders' set and have been placed out to a nice curve to drop onto the patch. Ran out of potmix on today's 'stake and bury' session, more soaking.
Fat Fred Junior, the 1018 Langevin is at 7' and sassy, some strong secondaries also staked and buried now for taking charge of the patch; and about 3-4 dozen baby male flowers removed. It bloomed two I didn't catch, and had them all over the place. Frederica the 1009 Young is also at 6-7' and has one strong secondary almost as long. No blooms but was trimmed of all buds for now and unfortunately has a split at the stump; it will probably be only asked to grow some male flowers to pollinate the 1018. It is hot, it is weedy and I have the cool off sprinkling going right now too. At least our local paper will take some plant/patch pictures, to show where all the growers are at. Next SVB spray is on Friday-I will take my nice camera then and get some to show off our potential...
