Here is the patch, as I stand in the west (which is where my wind comes from) of it. If you notice the whispy asparagus tops on the left, that wind break has been protecting the 1402 Bobier plant. This plant is not ill from the leaf wilt as the latest leaves on the 1502 Wallace are. The 1502 is in the open to the heat and wind, and this is where my problem is. If it were a spraying issue, both plant's leaves would look the same. 1402 on the left, 1502 onthe right, and the 1101 CHeckon in the front of the 1402 also providing protection to the 1402.

On another note, the 10 day measurement on the 1502 Wallace fruit at 10 ft is 27 inches, right at the benchmark. Measuring second fruit today on the 1402 and will possibly make the cut down to the one fruit at day 20. I want to give each a fair shot at making it to the big show.

Thanks for the moon Andy (see Ned's diary)! I see you fellas never give up, plants are coming back nicely. Reminds me of my plants in mid May... haahaa.. Just kiddin fellas.. I hope you get back on track after all the hail... You guys usually have the high water problem, so you can say now officially.." Come hail or high water.."
