Next to last pollination this morning on the 1047.5. I didn't cover it, bees got to it, But I was more concerned about getting one more set on this plant for a backup. I will try for one more on the 748, but now all new flowers are being nipped in the bud. I don't want unnecessary male flowers attracting cuke beetles. We missed another big wind storm, went just to the south of us. No wilting on the 1579 or 748 yesterday even though it got up to 87. It was cloudy, and the 1.5" rain the night before didn't hurt. I did notice Sunday that just as soon as clouds came in they perked up. I guess they would benefit from shade cloth if it was in the budget.
