Lanterra Update > Here at home things are very good with multiple sets on all plants from June 28th to July9th. Fruit growth is on the slow side to the bench marks but they are all solid contenders so far. It looks like my 848* X 1420 cross will go orange. The 998 and 1055* are moving along. The rain has been perfect and timely. There have been a few cool nights and only one real warm day that caused some minor flagging.
At Cornerstone my 1134 is struggling a bit for some unknown reason. The four other plants all have multiple sets with the best being the 752* Landry 07. The 1446 Werner, 898 Knauss and 1385 Jutras have all aborted one fruit each. This may have been caused by heavy rain the mornings of their pollination attempts.
Vine burring is now nearing an end as I have begun to terminate some side vines. I am not bothering with tea and instead I am using 100% fresh compost from Cornerstone to bury the vines watered in with molasses and myco. I have seen two rounds of cuc beetles and one of squash bugs. Two vine borers have been sighted in the patches. Spraying is a large chore especially when trying to reach the underside of the leaves. I have been religiously spraying all plants at seven day intervals with humic acid and calcium.
