Cornerstone Update > Yup, another 1/4" more rain this morning. Just as I start to spray for PM the sun disappears behind a cold fronts approaching cloud bank. I manage to get some of the remaining Immunox and Bifen I have left applied to the plants. It was mostly dry on the leaves by the time it started to rain.

PM is a large problem on the 898 Knauss and now the 1385 Jutras. If it ever stops raining I will get some baking soda on the plants this afternoon and stop whats already there on contact. The Cuc Bugs are there but not too much damage.

Nutty 1446 Werner x 752* Landry 07. Day 36 = 134"CC. Gain of 3" or 34 pounds.

Xray, 898 Knauss X 752* Landry 07. This fruit also gains 3" CC and looks very good too.

Upton, 1134 Landry x 752* Landry 07. Upton is a side vine fruit that is 107"CC on Day 33. Not a stunning pace but it could be a good one down the road.

Hardy, 1385 Jutras x 1446 Werner. Another side vine fruit that was mishaped in the blossom. Growth is less than average. This one will struggle to reach 800 pounds.
