Here are the plants on the larger patches: In case of the 1362 and the 1004 Iīm glad I did the double planting side by side, because the plants seem to help me with the decision Iīll have to make soon. The 1004...no question, plant 2 wants to climb hills which I canīt see. Plant 1 has a much more well-behaved main vine. The two 1362s seemed to be very similar (both of them pretty aggressive), but again it is plant 2 which wants to say goodbye. Its main vine is 2" shorter, the first signs of secondaries donīt look as nice as those on plant 1 and in the process of touching down the main vine of plant 2 has developed some kind of a kink.
For the 1317 and 1659 I donīt have to report any troubles, they are slightly behind the 1362s and 1004s and very well-behaved. Well, the 1659 wanted to change the direction of its main vine growth, it will be directed back into the right direction as soon as the main vine is longer and more flexible. Here I need to say that I hate to force short vines (the internodes of which are still in the phase of stretching out) into particular directions, because I have made the experience that some vines try to push themselves against any kind of barrier they hit, as if they wanted to push themselves against walls they want to climb. Hence, trying to force them into a particular direction might make things worse.
