Cold frame retired, vines getting staked down. 3 good plants for now. I will reduce to 2 in a few weeks. I know they are planted close to each other, but I have little sunny room to deal with.   Monday, June 20 View Page After a cold weekend, the plants are loving some heat. The Wallace 2054 is at 4ft and picking up the pace   Monday, June 20 View Page The Ford 1935 is doing well too.
