Open pollination. I didn't get up early today, as this is way out on the 1579. We have several pollinated on this plant and need to start culling soon. Wilting isn't as bad, and a quick sprinkle of water perks it right up. I can't justify expensive misting, high tunnel, or heat cables on our floodplain garden, just too much risk. So we use the garden hose, cheap hoop houses and pray for favorable weather.
