Me and Fat Fred on Sunday the 22nd, just before I sprayed a gallon of *DIE*SVB*DIE* on it. Not all of it is in the picture. I had earlier weeded and pared off all the unplanned pregnancies and all the female blossoms-to-be that I could find... those stems cut like custard, so gentle was the operating word. All the fruits I cut off are showing a nice perfect ovally shape so that seems the tendency of this vine. This picture's going in our paper on Wednesday if there's room... I took pictures of everyone's plants in town; and am forwarding them to the paper as asked. Oh, I'm standing right about where I smashed that little b*tch two days before as well.. As for the other plants, Junior (1018 Langevin) is starting to show females, I will be paring those now as they set farther out the main which is over 8' and still going; and Frederica (1009 Young) also showed a female at about 8'. It looks good for placement in another week to let one grow up and blossom right on schedule for fertilization 5-10 July for the Weigh-In. Two other grower vines will be a little short but have females in time I think; we will see.
