The drain tile I installed last fall is working very well, taking out around 1200 gallons of water a day, but with the constant soaking rains, the patch is currently, NOT happy.

I'll get a few pics in a few days. The 2315 is the best plant with a close 2nd going to the 839. They are both around 16 feet long and I am preparing the curve for a pollination on each next week, maybe by the weekend even. The 2369 is looking pretty good considering it is in the wetter side of the patch. The 2113 is very light green and has had way too much water. If it doesn't green up in the next 2 weeks, I will pull it and put a field pumpkin in. Maybe I should consider rice :)

The 839 Sandercock, looking pretty good. Had a few vines roll over a few days ago, got them staked up and looking better.

2315 dmg Zappa, looking great. Too wet to get my drip tape in. Hopefully in a few days I can get it started.
