Cornerstone Update > Great progress here this week and thankfully no damage from the hail storm last Friday.
The 1446 Werner is marching right along and should be good to pollinate by early July. It is a very nice plant and looks really strong too.
1385 Jutras main was turned after growing the wrong way by about 180*. sadly after the turn there is not much room on the west side for the vines. However the east sides will be about a good 15' wide. The plant is progressing well and is right on schedule.
898 Knauss, slowed out of the gate due to heat shock it recovered quickly and is vining nicely now.
1134 Landry, A hard cull last week as both plants were slightly out of alignment. The turn on the keeper plant was completed very quickly and painlessly. This plant should given me a nice large orange progeny to compete with at one of the GPC shows for Howard Dill plaque.
752* Landry, This plant is the backup to the primary 1502 Wallace and the 752* that were lost due to heat shock in the first week. Surprisingly strong and vigorous it is coming along nicely and catching up quickly on the rest of the field. Time will tell if I can get a fruit to set on it in prime time. Squash take longer to shift to fruit production but the main benefit of this plant is this generation may throw orange due the 1420 LaRue pollination of last year.
