LanTerra Update > No need to water as we have plenty falling from the heavens. With no sign of the traditional drought period we are annually faced with here in this part of the province growth has been phenomenal lately.

Although fruit growth is largely unspectacular here is a brief run down of what on the vines.

Dimple,998 Jutras x self, Jul 1st, 12'. Day 11 = 27
Gusto, 752* Landry X 1055*, Jul 2n, 14'. Day 10 = 28"
Clumsy, 1055* Pitura x 998, June 28, 11'. Day 14 = 38"

All three look to be keepers.

Special numbers this week are 3.58 and 7.1. HUH? 3.58% calcium in the leaves of the 998 and 7.1 pH in patch 1 home of the 1055*.

What a tremendous bonus it is to get a fruit to set on the first attempt on July 1st of a squash plant. I will keep my eye closly on clumsy as she can still abort yet. If it stays together I should be bang on good with this bugger.
