Another shot of the 1530. Thanks Chad for donating the seed and Tina and Frank for distributing it through the club. We had the soil too "jacked" last year in this patch and grew huge vines that worked us to death with pruning. They developed foaming stumps early and we worked feverishly to reign in the powdery mildew, and only produced a 509 and 661 pounder. We didn't add anything to the soil this year, and planted winter rye that grew to 7 feet tall before we cut it in. The difference is like night and day. Our vines are not impressive to say the least, but to this point we have no foaming stumps or signs of powdery mildew and the vines seem to be focusing their energy into the fruits.
