Pic today after covering females on the plants with yellow mesh to keep the birds from pecking a hole in young females. I have had that happen too much not to cover them. Applied more calcium/fish/seaweed drench to the soil, 5 gallons per plant. I want to ensure plenty of calcium to be available through the root system. Plant seems to love the extra care this year with fish and seaweed. Pollenating by the weekend, the 1402 is 13 ft out (of a 15 ft main) and the 1502 is 10 ft out (on a 12.5 ft main). 1101 is not ready but looking much better after cutting the double vine to one.

THought about a visit to Honesdale when I went through Scranton the other day Ned, hows the recovery from hail coming?
